it would be nice to at least pull in the object and signed property type stuff from my branch, since that is effecting userspace facing API.. All the plane/crtc/etc state object stuff doesn't effect abi so could come later, I suppose. It does touch a lot of drivers even if they aren't converted to 'atomic', but OTOH I think it makes things much cleaner and easier to 'atomicify' a driver without duplicating so much stuff in each driver. So long term I still think it is the right thing. But not sure how much more time I'll spend on it in the near term.
