It seems that the simple fix for this case (movement only) is to just
skip the prepare_fb/cleanup_fb calls (and the associated vblank wait) in
the transitional plane helper when newfb == oldfb. I just posted a
small patch that makes that change (and solves the cursor lag for me).
This won't solve the case if userspace uses a different framebuffer for
each update (while trying to update faster than the refresh rate). Is
there any existing userspace that behaves this way that we can test
with?
