We will remove the current assumption that the primary plane has the
same size and position as CRTC and that the primary plane is the
bottom-most in zpos order, or is even enabled. At least as far
as the blending machinery is concerned.
For that we will add CRTC dimension information to `vkms_crtc_state`
and add a opaque black backgound color.
Because now we need to fill the background, we had a loss in
performance with this change. Results running the IGT[1] test

Currently the blend function only accepts XRGB_8888 and ARGB_8888
as a color input.
This patch refactors all the functions related to the plane composition
to overcome this limitation.
The pixels blend is done using the new internal format. And new handlers
are being added to convert a specific format to/from this internal format.
So the blend operation depends on these handlers to convert to this common
format. The blended result, if necessary, is converted to the writeback
buffer format.
This patch introduces three major differences to the blend function.
1 - All the planes are blended at once.
2 - The blend calculus is done as per line instead of per pixel.
3 - It is responsible to calculates the CRC and writing the writeback
buffer(if necessary).
These changes allow us to allocate way less memory in the intermediate
buffer to compute these operations. Because now we don't need to
have the entire intermediate image lines at once, just one line is
enough.

V2: Improves the performance drastically, by performing the operations
per-line and not per-pixel(Pekka Paalanen).
Minor improvements(Pekka Paalanen).
V3: Changes the code to blend the planes all at once. This improves
performance, memory consumption, and removes much of the weirdness
of the V2(Pekka Paalanen and me).
Minor improvements(Pekka Paalanen and me).
V4: Rebase the code and adapt it to the new NUM_OVERLAY_PLANES constant.
V5: Minor checkpatch fixes and the removal of TO-DO item(Melissa Wen).
Several security/robustness improvents(Pekka Paalanen).
Removes check_planes_x_bounds function and allows partial

V6: Fix a mismatch of some variable sizes (Pekka Paalanen).

Currently, the memory to the composition frame is being allocated using
the kzmalloc. This comes with the limitation of maximum size of one
page size(which in the x86_64 is 4Kb and 4MB for default and hugepage
respectively).
Somes test of igt (e.g. kms_plane@pixel-format) uses more than 4MB when
testing some pixel formats like ARGB16161616 and the following error were
showing up when running kms_plane@plane-panning-bottom-right*:
[drm:vkms_composer_worker [vkms]] *ERROR* Cannot allocate memory for
output frame.
This problem is addessed by allocating the memory using kvzalloc that
circunvents this limitation.
V5: Improve the commit message and drop the debugging issues in VKMS
TO-DO(Melissa Wen).
