Well you already have to disable FBC in the hardware when you flip to
a buffer that can't be used with FBC. So that part is there. I admit
there is a little bit of extra complication from making sure you don't
deallocate the cfb before FBC has finished, but that complication is
neatly encapsulated in the FBC code. From the flip/modeset path there
should be just two function calls around the update to signal the FBC
machinery.

As I see it the FBC machinery effectively just needs three states:
- cfb deallocated + fbc disabled
- cfb allocated + fbc disabled
- cfb allocated + fbc enabled

and you just move between these states, with some synchronization in
between. I guess you may want to consider enabling/disabling as two
more states which makes the synchronization more clear.
