I think the first step here is to type in unit tests with specific cases
so that we can actually have a reasonable discussion about what's
"expected". Currently there's lots of shuffling going on in this code.

I think a simple drm_atomic_tests.ko driver which sets up a mostly-faked
drm_device instance would be the fastest way to get there. Later on we
could move some of that into userspace perhaps, but as long as it's a
separate module reloading to re-run tests is pretty fast.
