- This should be called by application level drivers before and

- the last vblank count when the ioctl is called with the
|

- _DRM_PRE_MODESET command, so that the counter won't go backwards

+ This was only used for user-mode-settind drivers around

+ modesetting changes to allow the kernel to update the vblank
|

+ interrupt after mode setting, since on many devices the vertical
|
|
|
