Hmm.
I don't have a strong opinion on this, but IMO the original idea of
allowing a user-space driver to optimize away the dirty calls isn't a
bad one.
Since the xf86-video-vmware always assumed that all drms it has to deal
with has this property set it's not using it.
The modesetting driver could, otoh benefit from this if someone cared to
implement it.
What about newer compositors? All using pageflips?
Also at this point I'm not aware of any user of this property but the
assumption that any user of DRM must be open-source to not be broken by
a kernel update seems dangerous to me. I though we must remain backwards
compatible always, not only for open-source user-space?
