- Beside some lookup structures with their own locking (which is hidden
- behind the interface functions) most of the modeset state is protected
- by the <code>dev-&lt;mode_config.lock</code> mutex and additionally
- per-crtc locks to allow cursor updates, pageflips and similar operations
- to occur concurrently with background tasks like output detection.
- Operations which cross domains like a full modeset always grab all
- locks. Drivers there need to protect resources shared between crtcs with
- additional locking. They also need to be careful to always grab the
- relevant crtc locks if a modset functions touches crtc state, e.g. for
- load detection (which does only grab the <code>mode_config.lock</code>
- to allow concurrent screen updates on live crtcs).
