So maybe I'm missing something, but I think this breaks a lot of stuff.
The issue is that fbdev is only a subordinate owner of the kms device, if
there's a real drm kms owner around that wins.

Which means when you switch back then set_par needs to restore the fbdev
framebuffer. So that might break some recovery/use-cases.

The other thing is that I think this also breaks the scanout offset, and
people do use that for double-buffering on top of fbdev on top of drm
drivers. So we can't just nuke it completely.

For better or worse I think we need to keep playing the whack-a-mole game.
Or do I miss something here?
