It would be nice to keep the drm_update_vblank_count unification
separate. As it is, it's very hard to keep track of which parts of the
patch are for each logical change.
BTW, I think the fact that I was hitting the problem fixed by 209e4dbc
("drm/vblank: Use u32 consistently for vblank counters") within a few
days indicates that there's another bug which causes the counter to jump
forward with drm_vblank_on/off(). It may not manifest itself with
current Intel hardware because that has a full 32-bit hardware frame
counter, turning the related calculations into no-ops. I haven't had
time to investigate this further yet.
