mainlining shenanigans
0225a90981
Drop the locks around cursor plane register writes. The
lock isn't needed since each plane's register are neatly
contained on their own cachelines.
The locking did have a secondary effect of disabling
interrupts around the cursor registers writes though.
If we drop that then we open outselves up for sceduling
delays and whatnot while on the middle of the register
writes. That increases the chance of not all the register
writes land during the same frame. For normal atomic
commits this is not a concern as the vblank evade mechanism
anyway disables interrupts around the update, but the legacy
cursor codepath does not. Technically we should do a vblank
evade there as well, but so far no one has bothered to hook
that up. So in the meantime let's put an explicit local irq
disable/enable around the legacy cursor update to keep the
race window minimal.
v2: local_irq_{disable,enable}() for legacy cursor ioctl

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
