According to Intel GFX PRM on 01.org, plane surface address can be updated synchronously or asynchronously. Synchronous flip will hold plane surface address update to start of next vsync, which is current implementation. Asynchronous flip will update the address as soon as possible. Without async flip, some 3D application could not reach better performance and the maximum performance is no higher than vsync frequency. The patch enables the async flip on plane surface address mmio update, and increment flip count correctly. With async flip enabled, some 3D applications have significant performance improvement. i.e. 3DMark Ice Storm has a 300%~400% increment on score. v2: Use bit operation definition for flip mode.

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.
