Cursor planes on virtualized drivers have special meaning and require
that the clients handle them in specific ways, e.g. the cursor plane
should react to the mouse movement the way a mouse cursor would be
expected to and the client is required to set hotspot properties on it
in order for the mouse events to be routed correctly.
This breaks the contract as specified by the "universal planes". Fix it
by disabling the cursor planes on virtualized drivers while adding
a foundation on top of which it's possible to special case mouse cursor
planes for clients that want it.
Disabling the cursor planes makes some kms compositors which were broken,
e.g. Weston, fallback to software cursor which works fine or at least
better than currently while having no effect on others, e.g. gnome-shell
or kwin, which put virtualized drivers on a deny-list when running in
atomic context to make them fallback to legacy kms and avoid this issue.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
