This patchset adds the callbacks begin_fb_access and end_fb_access to struct drm_plane_helper_funcs. They provide hooks to acquire and release resources that are only held during the commit. It adds related simple-KMS helpers and converts shadow-plane helpers. As resource allocation often can fail, we have to do this before an atomic commit starts the update in order to handle the error. But prepare_fb is only reverted after the next pageflip. We want to reduce the time resources are held for a commit, which requires the new hooks. With this in place, move shadow-plane helpers' automatic vmap/vunmap behind the new callbacks. The shadow-plane mapping is only required during the atomic commit. Tested with combinations of radeon, udl and simpledrm under X11, Weston and Wayland-Gnome.
