Because it's evil? I still don't see much problem in having a thing to
track the state of each pipe fairly accurately.

Nothing atomic based will work well because the state is not flipped at
the same time as the actual hardware state changes.

I don't know which power state you mean, but I already shot down the
power domain thing.
