Uh ... And X then doesn't try to fully shut down the CRTC? That would be a
SETCRTC with num_connectors=0, mode=0.

The failure mode has nothing to do with legacy dpms, it's just anything
that touches the modeset state will fail (except when you fully turn
things off, not just dpms off). If we fix this, then a DPMS on will
probably also "work", with possibly some hilarious dmesg noise and driver
bugs. So we need to be careful that this only allows disabling, not
re-enabling afterwards.

Hm ... thinking a bit more, I think a full disable also will not quite
work. Definitely need to test that.

We'll probably also need some checks in atomic helpers to prevent
re-enabling of a ghost connector.
