OK - So here it is in use again, with modules drm amdgpu i915 loaded + deps

w/o actually looking, the vblank debug could be called frequently.
I'll build on my amdgpu box to run on real hardware.

And Im inclined to restore the instrumented version (with the "todo:")
care to suggest a better message than "maybe avoid" ?
