I don't believe the recompute logic got lost, it just got moved around a
bit so that it wouldn't happen during our time-sensitive vblank evasion
while interrupts are disabled.  The old_width != intel_crtc->cursor_width
check that you're re-adding below already happens in
intel_check_cursor_plane():

   finish: 
           if (intel_crtc->active) {
                   if (intel_crtc->cursor_width != state->base.crtc_w)
                           intel_crtc->atomic.update_wm = true;

We just set a flag so that we know whether we'll need to update
watermarks later or not.  Then when we get to the commit phase, in
intel_begin_crtc_commit(), we do the following before entering vblank
evasion:

        if (intel_crtc->atomic.update_wm)
                intel_update_watermarks(crtc);

Some of the watermark code we have today sleeps, so we can't call it
under vblank evasion (i.e., during the commit phase while interrupts are
disabled).

Our high-level atomic workflow (which legacy plane ioctls also flow
through internally) looks something like this:

 - Some userspace ioctl (SetCursor, SetPlane, etc.)
      - intel_check_TYPE_plane()
            - check validity of request, bail if invalid
            - set flags in intel_crtc->atomic for various stuff we will
              need to do before/after vblank evasion (e.g., wm's)
      - intel_begin_crtc_commit()
            - Perform sleepable operations noted in intel_crtc->atomic
            - intel_pipe_update_start (interrupts are now disabled!)
      - intel_commit_TYPE_plane()
      - intel_finish_crtc_commit()
            - intel_pipe_update_end (interrupts are now reenabled)
            - Perform sleepable operations noted in intel_crtc->atomic

So your patch below could result in sleeps happening while vblanks are
disabled, which is bad (IIRC, most of those sleeps are in the SKL
codepath right now, but I think there's a workaround-related wait for
IVB as well).

Our watermark code needs a lot of work to beat it into proper shape for
atomic and that's what I'm working on at the moment.
