Subject: drm: inform kernel about recently flushed areas

drm: inform kernel about recently flushed areas

Some drivers (QXL in particular) require to be notified when a part
of the mapped frame buffer memory is changed.

This commit adds a drmModeDirtyFB call after flushing changes to the
frame buffer to accomplish that.
