Nope. We can maybe rework this so that i915 can do stuff under the hood,
but wrt uapi this was the thing we discussed with compositors. Without
such a guarantee atomic is defacto broken from a compositor pov.
This WARN_ON is not unecessary, compositor people really do not want the
kernel to throw around spurious EBUSY they have no visibility into.
Please also cc all the compositor people from my original patch if you
change anything in this area.
