As far as I remember, the complicated part here was related to the CFB
allocation/deallocation. If we disable FBC while the pipe is running we
need to wait for a vblank before we deallocate the CFB, otherwise the
HW is going to keep writing to the stolen memory. While we certainly
can adjust to this, in my FBC reworks I simplified this a lot, and now
we only enable/disable the CFB during crtc_{en,dis}able, so we only
ever free the CFB while the pipe is off, and we don't
deallocate+reallocate it at every single page flip.

The other complicated part is that if we try to allocate the new CFB
for the new plane without first freeing the old one (waiting for the
vblank on the other CRTC) we'll probably get an -ENOMEM from the stolen
mm. On the other hand, if we actually do all the vblank the waits,
well, we'll have to implement the code to properly wait for everything.
And while we're doing the waits, the world may change, new modesets may
happen, we may have to abort or change our minds, and handling all
these cases is there things get complicating.

And we have intel_fbc_work_fn() to help.

Anyway, it is possible to do what you're suggesting. It's just that a
lot of simple things will become complicated.
