I have implemented such thing. I didn't took it as a nack back then.
Last comment from you was:
"if you go with fb_dirty, please implement the clipping
test in your callback."
and v3 was prepared to address that comment. My thinking was that this
is only for fb console, but Ville Syrjälä commented that there is more
than console so I sticked in this approach.
So you think I should just drop idea of setting dirty callback and
implement those i915-specific helpers?
