I think a good example to think about is virtualizing hwpipe<->plane
mapping, for example, when you need to re-assign hwpipes for the next
frame according to what capabilities are needed (yuv, scaling) or gang
up two hwpipes for wide buffer scanout (or re-use one hwpipe for two
planes).. in mdp5 we keep track of what hwpipes are in use by which
planes in driver global atomic state (I have some revived patches from
architt to convert this to driver private objs)..

With the atomic model we have serialization in the (to abuse some
terms) "top half" (ie. userspace calling into ioctl) by virtue of the
modeset locks.  But there is a second half to this.  Because we update
the new incoming global state object about what hwpipes are released
in atomic_check, if the incoming state is committed/swapped in the
"top half" we rely on this state being valid in the "bottom half" (in
this case the wq) before pushing the new state to the hw.. which
essentially forces us to serialize committing the state in the "bottom
half" so things happen in the same order as the "top half" intended.
Otherwise we could try to assign a hwpipe to a different crtc while it
is still scanning out for it's previous crtc.  If you have a 30Hz
display plus a 120Hz display, I guess this is a bit sub-optimal.

Maybe the answer is per-crtc wq's for commits plus some sort of
fencing scheme to stall things when there are cross-crtc dependencies
(ie. commit on crtc B depends on hwpipe released by commit on crtc A)?
 This way we don't block updates on the faster display when it isn't
required.  I'm not quite sure how that would work.  But perhaps at
least we could somehow allow out-of-order commits when two updates
don't touch any of the same state obj's.

(But I do think this is something we should discuss on dri-devel, and
I'd prefer do solve this in the atomic helpers, rather than having
userspace workaround different sets of bugs/quirks for each different
driver.  It really isn't something that is hw specific, so it doesn't
belong in the driver.)
