[PATCH v4 0/6] drm: Add support for atomic async page-flip

["André Almeida" <andrealmeid@igalia.com>]

Hi,

This work from me and Simon adds support for DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_ASYNC through
the atomic API. This feature is already available via the legacy API. The use
case is to be able to present a new frame immediately (or as soon as
possible), even if after missing a vblank. This might result in tearing, but
it's useful when a high framerate is desired, such as for gaming.

Differently from earlier versions, this one refuses to flip if any prop changes
for async flips. The idea is that the fast path of immediate page flips doesn't
play well with modeset changes, so only the fb_id can be changed. The exception
is for mode_id changes, that might be referring to an identical mode (which
would skip a modeset). This is done to make the async API more similar to the
normal API.

Thanks,
	André
