We could reuse the same trick we're doing in the fbdev code, of
pushing the commit to a worker and doing it in a blocking fashion. Or
at least wait for it to finish (can be done with the crtc_state->event
stuff). That way userspace can pile us up in dirtyfb calls, but we'd
do at most one per frame. More isn't really useful anyway.

One thing I thought you've had around somewhere is some additional
tracking code, so we don't have to take all the plane mutexes in the
->dirtyfb callback. Does that exist, or was that just a figment of my
imagination?

Either we fill this out for all legacy paths, or we just require that
drivers upload everything when num_clips == 0. The trouble with having
num_clips == 0 imply a full upload is that we can't do a pure pan
without having to set a dummy clip rect of 0 size. Which is also
silly.
So I'm leaning towards going through all the legacy ioctl paths (well,
at least the ones where we agree it should result in a full upload,
cursor probably excluded) and setting up a clip rect with max values
like above for all of them.
And we'd need to remove the ->dirty bit then I think, since it'd be
entirely redundant.
