    drm: vkms: Supports to the case where primary plane doesn't match the CRTC · bc0d7fde
    Igor Torrente authored
    We will remove the current assumption that the primary plane has the
    same size and position as CRTC and that the primary plane is the
    bottom-most in zpos order, or is even enabled. At least as far
    as the blending machinery is concerned.
    
    For that we will add CRTC dimension information to `vkms_crtc_state`
    and add a opaque black backgound color.
    
    Because now we need to fill the background, we had a loss in
    performance with this change. Results running the IGT[1] test
    `igt@kms_cursor_crc@pipe-a-cursor-512x512-onscreen` ten times:
