Do the locks even protect anything correctly? It seems to me like this mutex may
need to be in dev_priv.

ilk_program_watermarks seems to be depending on all crtc's wm state.

Not a criticism on this patch, but is there an way to hammer in per crtc only wm's without having to look at the exact details of the global wm state outside of modesets?

You don't need to reset the flag here, it's already cleared when duplicating the state..
