    "drm/i915: Allow nonblocking update of pageflips" should have been
    split up, misses a proper commit message and seems to cause issues in
    the legacy page_flip path as demonstrated by kms_flip.
    
    "drm/i915: Make unpin async" doesn't handle the unthrottled cursor
    updates correctly, leading to an apparent pin count leak. This is
    caught by the WARN_ON in i915_gem_object_do_pin which screams if we
    have more than DRM_I915_GEM_OBJECT_MAX_PIN_COUNT pins.
    
    Unfortuantely we can't just revert these two because this patch series
    came with a built-in bisect breakage in the form of temporarily
    removing the unthrottled cursor update hack for legacy cursor ioctl.
    Therefore there's no other option than to revert the entire pile :(
    
    There's one tiny conflict in intel_drv.h due to other patches, nothing
    serious.
    
    Normally I'd wait a bit longer with doing a maintainer revert, but
    since the minimal set of patches we need to revert (due to the bisect
    breakage) is so big, time is running out fast. And very soon
    (especially after a few attempts at fixing issues) it'll be really
    hard to revert things cleanly.
    
    Lessons learned:
    - Not a good idea to rush the review (done by someone fairly new to
      the area) and not make sure domain experts had a chance to read it.
    
    - Patches should be properly split up. I only looked at the two
      patches that should be reverted in detail, but both look like the
      mix up different things in one patch.
    
    - Patches really should have proper commit messages. Especially when
      doing more than one thing, and especially when touching critical and
      tricky core code.
    
    - Building a patch series and r-b stamping it when it has a built-in
      bisect breakage is not a good idea.
    
    - I also think we need to stop building up technical debt by
      postponing atomic igt testcases even longer. I think it's clear that
      there's enough corner cases in this beast that we really need to
      have the testcases _before_ the next step lands.
