Some drivers have hardware capability to get the precise timestamp of
certain events based on which the fences are triggered. This allows it
to set accurate timestamp factoring out any software and IRQ latencies.
Move the timestamp parameter out of union in dma_fence struct to allow
signaling drivers to set it. If the parameter is not set, ktime_get is
used to set the current time to fence timestamp during dma_fence_signal.

So with they "why?" question fully resolved, I think this is a bit too
much a hack. I think much better if we pass the timestamp explicitly,
in a new dma_fence_signal_timestamp variant. That means a bit more
work, but I think it will handle this special case cleaner.

Also means we need to wire the timestamp through the entire call stack
on the drm side too. So we need a drm_send_event_locked_timestamp
variant too for send_vblank_event.

@Sumit Semwal, @Gustavo Padovan, @Steven Rostedt
Can you please help in getting review for the v2 patches.
I have addressed the earlier comments from Daniel Vetter.

Thanks,
