So could someone with vmwgfx understanding explain this? Note that the
FIXME was originally added by me years ago, because I wasn't sure (only
about 90%) that this is safe, and was essentially pleading for a vmwgfx
expert to review this?

Since it didn't happen I presume it's not that terribly and probably safe
...

I'm still 90% sure that this is correct, but I'd love for a vmwgfx to
audit it. Replying with a NAK is kinda not the response I was hoping for
(and yes I guess I should have explained what's going on here better, but
it's just a git blame of the FIXME comment away).

Thanks,

Daniel
