For a generic version we probably want to automatically switch to
drm_crtc_arm_vblank_event, if vblank support is available. That can be
checked by looking at drm_device->num_crtcs.

Hm yeah. What about merging this patch here for now (would need your
formal reviewed-by), and then later on when we have 2-3 simple drivers
using this we can reconsider? Since I dont have hw for any of them I can't
do this myself.

Trying again with this patch, or without? Since this patch here is meant
to exactly the problem that you need to handle the event in too many
places. If it's fixed with just latest drm-misc, that would be surprising
