I'm not sure whether / how you handle the case of hardware render to

need to implement driver specific "tricks" to meet the semantics of
a generic interface, we should perhaps consider specifying those
semantics in a way that helps avoid driver-specific workarounds?
We don't handle really hanlde rendering to cursor objects. I think the
"require a set_cursor after every cursor bo change" semantic is good, I've
just feared that when only vmgfx needs this, no generic kms user will
actually implement it. But nouveau seems to require this too, so I think
at least for this case reality (and generic kms clients) will play along.

Great. I'll cook up a header file patch with some extra documentation.
