But the real not-test-only commit will follow if this test-only commit
succeeds, and keeping the guarantees for the real commit are important.

As assertion that when the real atomic commit happens and then
completion events are fired, they match exactly the affected crtcs mask.

I understand this may be off-topic for this particular patch, but since
we are discussing the topic, such checks would be really nice. I'm
curious if such checks already exist.
