Yes, this is basically it. We identify the crtc to capture, query the
planes associated with it and their properties. For each plane, we get the
fb, then a FD that we use to import a GBM buffer, which we map and
composite. It's not ideal, but it's the only thing that will work across
all of our platforms and configs. We either wait or sleep for consistent
testing captures. I'm not sure what we can do about the race condition
without a much more substantial change... We are currently looking into
some platform specific methods, but the current approach won't be going
away anytime soon.

I am sure this would be fine, I'd be happy to get rid of it. I'll put
together a separate patch for this.
