While typing these I noticed that ->dirty is a bit a can of worms
and even supports blt/fill semantics ... shocked me a bit.
Oh well it's defined in a way that nothing bad (just a bit of inefficiency)
will happen for drivers which supports this. So I didn't bother copying
the detailed spec into the new kerneldoc.
