Yes first three patches. They should land in the next few days. The
explanation is a few pages long, not sure that makes much sense to
copypaste into every driver patch here.

Also patch 16 has some more explanation specific for display.

The critical section starts even before this function starts, but for
composability each part is individually annotated. That's why I've put it
as the very first thing in every patch. Currently there's nothing between
the funciton start and drm_atomic_helper_commit_modeset_disables which
could break dma-fence rules, but the entire point of annotations is to not
have to manually prove stuff like this. Wrapping it all is the point here.

Does that make sense?

Also, what I'm realling looking for is testing with lockdep enabled.
Neither me nor you is going to catch issues with review here :-)
