Because fastboot works for every modeset, or at least should. E.g. if you
go from an upscale panel resolotion to the full one we still want to just
fixup the pfit, even when it's a normal modeset.

So fastboot really is a bit a misnomer, since the leftover bits (after
I've convinced Jesse that the fb takeover should be done unconditionally
really) is just some modeset fastpaths.

Aside: We still have a leak on the inherited fb, see
