fwiw, I was leaning towards introducing primary-plane's visible to
userspace after we have atomic modeset (or really, the
propertyification associated with atomic modeset).

But that should be independent of drm_plane conversion.  You probably
still want to do something like what I did in omapdrm where you attach
plane properties on the crtc as well for benefit of old userspace.

I think this shouldn't be visible to userspace.  If I remember
correctly, I just did it this way to make it easier to prevent users
of bitmask property from doing the wrong thing (setting multiple bits,
overlapping bitmask values, etc).

Anyways, from a really quick look, the core and omapdrm parts look good.

The drm_rotation_simplify() might be overkill..  or at least userspace
should see what are the supported bitmask flags and not try to ask for
something that is not supported.  Or am I missing something?
