I've tested these with an updated intel-gpu-test/flip_test and will send the update for that once there's no objection about this patchset.
I'm mostly fine with this, although the wall time compatibility stuff may not be useful given that userspace apps, e.g., OpenGL clients, have no way to actually ask for wall vs. monotonic, and the spec actually expects them to expect monotonic timestamps.
I also see that an update to nouveau-kms is missing? Afaik the vblank timestamping on nouveau-kms is still handled by the fallback in the drm, but pageflip completion uses do_gettimeofday() for the timestamping and returns a hard-coded zero vblank count all time for pageflip events (yay!). Lucas Stach and me have written and tested some patches to fix this over a year ago, but somehow they never made it into the kms driver, mostly due to bad timing in when stuff was submitted, reviewed and revised, not for serious technical objections iirc.
Ideally we could give them another try, or at least update nouveaus pageflip timestamping to avoid really bad breakage for OpenGL clients or the nouveau-ddx due to inconsistent vblank vs. pageflip timestamps.
I quickly looked over the patches, i think they look mostly good, see some small comments below.

This commit without the followup commit wouldn't compile, because you changed real_time into real_etime. Your followup commit fixes this, so squash them into one to avoid compilation problems for bisection?
Then, for the followup patch "[RFC 4/4] drm: add support for raw monotonic vblank timestamps"

This shouldn't be raw_stime, but real_etime, so the debug output of these vars can be compared to the values of vblank_time->real.tv_sec etc.
