What about front buffer tracking? Is this going to leave FBC permanently
disabled unless there are flips/plane updates?

I think there are a few cases we need to consider:
1. plane update which doesn't need fbc disable
2. plane update which needs to disable fbc but can re-enable it after the flip
   has happended (eg. need to reallocate the cfb due to plane size/format change)
3. plane update which needs to disable fbc and can't re-enable it (eg. the new
   plane state no longer fbc compatible)
4. front buffer invalidate + flush

HW nuke will handle case 1. Case 2 could do the fbc re-enable after the
post-flip vblank wait. Case 3 would ideally let us move FBC to another
plane (thinking of pre-HSW hardware here). And case 4 must re-enable fbc
after the flush has happened.
