What would blow up? This should only be called fairly late in the
transition when most of the atomic handling is correctly done. And
i915 is probably the most extreme example of a conversion, so if it
works out for us I think everyone else should be fine too.

Generally drivers only started to do fancy stuff with get_*_state once
converted to atomic to start exploiting it, not before the transition
is completed. i915 is different since we have a lot of our own modeset
code ...
