I guess what I haven't quite figured out is why the pre_plane_update()
even leaves fbc logically enabled. I would think we should just disable
fbc there if anything important is going to change, and then re-enable
at post_plane_update() after reallocating the cfb.

OK, so I guess you just remove the delayed activation at
flush/post_plane_update. So now it'll enable it immediately.

Hmm, and if we just get a flush without the invalidate then we're going
to just use the nuke msg register anyway. So I suppose this shouldn't
cause much additional fbc on<->off ping pong.

Actually, are we now effecitively forcing a synchronous vblank wait
in pre_plane_update for every frame via the hw_deactivate() polling
for fbc to stop? AFAICS with the re-enable now being immediate we're
going to have to disable fbc every single time. I think the correct
fix for that would involve a) not disabling fbc around flips when the
hw flip nuke will suffice, and b) convert the "wait for fbc to disable"
thing into a post_plane_update time assert (and verify whether the hw
is actually happy with disabling both fbc and the plane at the same
time).
