But it doesn't really make sense for the cursor plane to change z-
position, even if it's technically possible. We do want it to always be
on top anyway. Doing it this way makes the cursor behave the same way
irrespective of the Tegra generation that we're running on.

Yes, that may not fully expose the capabilities of the hardware, but we
are already restricting the hardware capabilities by exposing the
overlay plane as a cursor plane in the first place.
