I think user-space can handle this and correctly synchronize cursor
updates with game updates via the KMS atomic API.

However I still think flickering should be avoided by the hardware.
Flickering is a completely separate issue and user-space shouldn't add
workarounds for screen issues like this.

Do you think that would be acceptable? Do you have any "slew rate
register" in AMD hardware?

Thanks,
