Until last night, it had been over a month since a vblank problem was reported, so I figure now is a good time to try to break things again.
The vblank-rework tree has been soaking for quite awhile now, and I don't think it'll get anymore exposure as a branch of the main drm tree. Since it actually fixes a few bugs with the current drm, and saves power by keeping interrupts off when not in use, Dave thought now might be a good time to merge it. So after some final (and I hope comprehensive) testing today, I'd like to merge it into master. Aside from all the driver internal changes, the vblank-rework stuff includes a new userland visible interface: DRM_IOCTL_MODESET_CTL. It's intended to plug the vblank counter modesetting hole. When a driver changes modes on a pipe, it can call MODESET_CTL pre- and post-modesetting to make sure that the vblank counter doesn't go backwards in the event that the modeset resets the chip's vblank counter register.
