All the other assertions (mostly) check whether we get the modeset
_sequence_ right, i.e. whether A is in the right state once we get
around to frob B. This stuff here mostly checks whether our own state
tracking somewhat resembles the actual hw state after the entire dance
is completed. This is especially important to give the fastboot stuff
better coverage: We use the same functions to read the intial modeset
state from the as we use to check the modeset state after any state
changes.

So I think the concepts are sufficiently different to get away with
different names ;-)
