I'm not even sure where to find bspecs for the really old
platforms...how flexible were those primary planes?  Can we drive both
"primary" planes at the same time on a single CRTC if we're not using
the second pipe?  If not, is there some other benefit we get from not
enforcing a fixed pipe-plane association?
