Only if it would re-fetch all planes/crtcs/etc. resources between every
operation. Doing that would suck big time. And with atomic that's not
even a theoretical option since everything would be configured with a
single ioctl.

If the kernel crashes due to an an unsupported plane configuration,
then the kernel has to be fixed.
