All non-cursor planes (i.e., primary+sprite). Cursors use a fixed DDB
allocation (currently 32 blocks as suggested by bspec, but
Radhakrishna's testing has found this to be too small, so his patch here
is bumping that number up.
Primary and sprite planes are supposed to divide up the remaining blocks
proportional to their size, but the bug here causes them to all be
considered full-screen size. If you're not actually using sprites and
not windowing your primary plane, then the bug has no effect (which is
probably why we didn't already catch and fix it). If you do use a
sprite plane or window your primary plane, your proportions are probably
wrong and you get non-optimal settings, although even then you usually
won't have actual problems.
