We're not ready to enable this just yet. First we need to change all the
plane code to use the correct derived state (eg. clipped coordinates as
opposed to the user requested ones). And to do that we must make sure
the derived state is up to date at .crtc_enable() time.

This was one of the things I had on mind when Gustavo was reworking the
primary/cursor plane code, but then Gustavo was pulled away and this
task fell through the cracks. I've now cooked up something that should
make this happen, but I haven't tested it yet. I'll give it a spin today
and post the patch if all goes well...
