The idea behind allowing drivers to override legacy ioctls (instead of
using the generic implementations unconditionally) is to handle bugs
in old driver-specific userspace. Like e.g. vmw_kms_set_config does,
to work around some vmwgfx userspace not clearing its ioctl structs
properly.

But you can't use it to augment semantics and put in additional
checks, since from a correctly working userspace's pov there should
not be any difference in behaviour between the legacy and the atomic
paths.

vmwgfx seems to be doing some strange things in its page_flip
handlers. Since I'm not an expert of this codebase just wrap some
FIXME comments around the potentially problematic code.
