When the pre/post-modeset hooks were originally added, it worked like
this: the pre-modeset hook enabled the vblank interrupt, which updated
the DRM vblank counter from the driver/HW counter. The post-modeset hook
disabled the vblank interrupt again, which recorded the post-modeset
driver/HW counter value.
But the vblank code has changed a lot since then, not sure it still
works like that.
