Could we perhaps add a check in ilk_compute_pipe_wm which unsets the legacy_cursor_update flag so we keep things unsynced as much as possible?

Those 2 hunks are needed. If you move the cursor out of the visible area or back you need to update.
Easiest way to trigger a bug is load a 256 width cursor out of the visible area, move it back in and you get
a fifo underrun.

Why is switching fb's synced? Identical sized fb should be unsynced if possible.
