During the hackfest in Brno, it was mentioned that a commit which re-sets the 
same FB_ID could actually have an effect with VRR: It could trigger scanout of 
the next frame before vertical blank has reached its maximum duration. Some 
kind of mechanism is required for this in order to allow user space to perform 
low frame rate compensation.
