That can be a factor, but I think we may have some more general issue
in the modeset sequence which causes these to get reported. I'm getting
some on my machine as well where SSKPD looks more sane. Maybe we turn on
the error reporting too early or something.

But I'm not going to spend time worrying about these before my previous
watermark stuff gets merged. Also the underrun reporting code itself
would need some kind of rewrite to be really useful.

If the display doesn't blank out during use everything is more or less
fine and you can ignore these errors. It's quite likely that the
errors were always present and you didn't know it. We just made them
more prominent recently.
