So my understanding of this patch is that it moves watermark value
writes to the right place (inside the vblank evasion where we write the
rest of the plane registers), but we aren't tackling the problems with
DDB writes & flushing order yet, so we don't expect everything to be
fixed yet, right?  You might want to clarify that slightly in the commit
message here. 

One other comment inline below.

I believe this should be IS_GEN9 so that it applies to BXT and KBL too.
