Honestly, I don't care about compton. I don't think you realize the effects of
this issue. It seriously affects performance when the cursor is in motion with
any page-flipping application. GNOME and KDE, while the window motion is less
affected, stutter in composited client applications.

You'd have to point this out to me, because I didn't see anything that would
obviously block, unless it's buried in dc_validate_plane.
Since, as you say, atomic_check is blocking for now, why not work around this
issue with a tiny change. If someone ever gets around to doing things the
correct way it's no big deal to remove.</pre>
