Entire series applied, thanks for patches&review.

On that topic: The igt testcase for this is still mia. There's a JIRA for
it, but atm JIRA is down :( Main gist that I think we need to check is
fast modesets between different upscaled and native versions. Later on we
can extend it (e.g. for userspace-controlled DRRS I want to use this same
fast modeset infrastructure here too).

Who's going to do that testcase?
