You should use drm_atomic_helper_page_flip as .page_flip hook instead of
rolling your own, when you have a brand-new atomic driver. If that helper
doesn't work that means you have a bug in your driver somewhere.

And indeed virtio just plugs in drm_atomic_helper_commit, which thus far
doesnt' do nonblocking commits, which means the page flip stuff won't
work. I'm working on generic nonblocking atomic to fix this up. Currently
still wip and buggy though, hence no patches.

But I'll take you up on the implied offer to help out and test ;-)
