What I've occasionally used for testing is kms_setmode with a patch to
ignore all errors from setcrtc so that it doesn't abort midway. IIRC
last time I did that on eg. HSW there were plenty of state checker
complaints. In its default state kms_setmode has a bit of a problem
because it doesn't know about conflicting connectors, nor does it know
if we're supposed to have one encoder per connector or pair of
connectors (DDI vs. !DDI). And also IIRC encoder/connector stealing
will wreac some extra havoc here. Not sure if there's a good way to
try and fix it so that by default kms_setmode would really test
what's it's pretending to test on all platforms.

I guess we could at least promote my hack to a proper command line
option, so that we can try to feed as many combinations to the kernel
as possible.
