It's not a matter of uninstalling the IRQ handler; the question is
whether the hardware frame count gets reset at VT switch time. The i915
driver uses the hardware frame counter to avoid receiving interrupts
when no application is waiting for one, but that frame counter is reset
to zero when the crtc clock is reprogrammed.

Ok, cool. Having things the same everywhere avoids potential confusion
about how the DRM API is supposed to be used.
