Iirc on pre-g4x flips don't invalidate the fbc compression, and we do
actually have to disable fbc entirely. There's some funky language that if
you want to flip with fbc you have to track the new backbuffer.

So I'm not entirely sure this is correct for the i8x case. Otoh we don't
ever enable it, so we could also just nuke the i8x fbc code. Either way it
doesn't matter to much.

I haven't read ahead, but both psr single frame update and this here
should be converted. Since with this here there's the small (but very
real) chance that rendering the buffer for this flip will take longer than
the next vblank, and at least for the psr case we'd then fail to upload
the changes. For fbc it's less of a problem, since if you page flip then
userspace shouldn't race frontbuffer rendering.

So I think this is ok (but the PSR case should be fixed by moving the
register write itself into the atomic update, which means we need to have
a boolean to decided whether to do that in the intel_crtc_state).
