Yes, I agree it's cleaner. I just hope the atomic state tracking cost
can be kept under control :-)

By the way, this is likely not going to happen as it would be way too
intrusive, but it would be nice to rename drm_atomic_state to
drm_atomic_transaction (or something similar). It doesn't model a state,
but a change between an old state to a new state. This confused me in
the past, and I'm sure it can still be confusing to newcomers.
