+ * modesetfrombusy - modeset from a busy buffer to a non-busy buffer
+ *
+ * METHOD
+ *   Set a mode, make the frontbuffer busy using BLT writes, do a modeset to a
+ *   non-busy buffer, then check if the features are enabled. The goal of this
+ *   test is to exercise a bug we had on the frontbuffer tracking infrastructure
+ *   code.
+ *
+ * EXPECTED RESULTS
+ *   No assertions fail.
+ *
+ * FAILURES
+ *   If you're failing this test, then you probably need "drm/i915: Clear
+ *   fb_tracking.busy_bits also for synchronous flips" or any other patch that
+ *   properly updates dev_priv->fb_tracking.busy_bits when we're alternating
+ *   between buffers with different busyness.
