-        Beside some lookup structures with their own locking (which is hidden
-	behind the interface functions) most of the modeset state is protected
-	by the <code>dev-<mode_config.lock</code> mutex and additionally
-	per-crtc locks to allow cursor updates, pageflips and similar operations
-	to occur concurrently with background tasks like output detection.
-	Operations which cross domains like a full modeset always grab all
-	locks. Drivers there need to protect resources shared between crtcs with
-	additional locking. They also need to be careful to always grab the
-	relevant crtc locks if a modset functions touches crtc state, e.g. for
-	load detection (which does only grab the <code>mode_config.lock</code>
-	to allow concurrent screen updates on live crtcs).
