OK, thanks Daniel. I'm not quite familiar with the userspace, but I
think this is the summary:

- For legacy FB support, we can use the "->dirty" fops, port the qxl
codes to drm_fb_helper.c, just as you described.
- For atomic page flip, the one-shot can be triggered when flipping the
window/plane.
- How about the front buffer rendering/drawing? I mean, if a drm
userspace app requests a dumb buffer then draws on it, how can we
trigger the one-shot to update the display? Do we need to add an
additional IOCTL to do that?
