We have to audit that DirtyFB is called on all gen9+ userspace, because FBC is only enabled by default on those platforms.

I know the modesetting ddx does, I believe xf86-video-intel as well. So it should be safe to do. We could hide the old behavior behind a kernel parameter for now for 1 or 2 releases,

so we can chicken out if needed.

HW tracking has been buggy for a long time, and is no longer available on current hw because of those bugs.

Not sure.
