Looks nice. A few small things from Ville and me, but with those addressed
this looks all ready for merging and seems like a good improvement to the
modeset framework.

Ok, one more patch at the end is needed: We need to review and upate the
kernel-doc for all the existing hooks, and add cross-links between
mode_valid and atomic_check respectively mode_fixup.

Some more drivers using this would be sweet too, but not a blocker.

Thanks, Daniel
