DRM_MODE_PLANE_EVENT is similar to DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT but it is
for a plane. The setplane ioctl (DRM_IOCTL_MODE_SETPLANE) needs to
provide the event such as DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT. The setplane ioctl
can change the framebuffer of plane but user can't know completion of
changing the framebuffer of plane via event. If DRM_MODE_PLANE_EVENT is
added, we can also do pageflip of a plane.

If I understand the current kms api correctly, set_plane is akin to
set_base and should not generate an asynchronous flip completion event. To
do that we need a new pageflip ioctl which changes a complete set of fb +
planes + any crtc attributes that might be in an atomic fashion. At which
point we can just reuse the existing page flip event mechanism.
