I see it basically the other way around: We are currently pretending to
the DRM core code that we have a reliable hardware vblank counter and
timing even in the virtual DCE case, when we really don't. We should
stop pretending and instead communicate the lack of these hardware
facilities in the virtual DCE case as intended, otherwise we'll probably
run into issues sooner or later.
