To recap, the atomic conversion part 2 series [1] broke things
[2][3][4], and the quick fix reverts [5] broke other things [6], and now
we have these patches to fix that.

I was resolved to either merge these fixes or purge the whole thing this
afternoon. On the one hand people have based their work on this and it
clearly now works with the test coverage we've had, on the other hand
I'm now less confident with the series overall, and Ville and Maarten
keep on debating about it.

I've ended up chickening out of this and compromising. I've moved
("demoted") Maarten's atomic series part 2 from drm-intel-next-queued to
a new topical branch topic/atomic-conversion, and added these four
patches on top. The topical branch merges to
drm-intel-nightly. Basically nightly now has these patches on top, but
the source of the commits is different.

Frankly what I'm doing is deferring this to Daniel who'll return next
week. He'll take over handling drm-intel-next-queue on his return
anyway, so given he'll have to deal with the rest of the fallout I think
it's only fair he can decide what to do. I would have dropped the whole
series and started over if I were in charge next week, but this will
probably cause less of a hickup right now.


BR,
Jani.
