Yeah this is just badly engineered. In drm we'd do this with the self
refresh helpers, which pretty much give you this exact functionality, but
in the helpers, while not randomly breaking actual visible behaviour of
the display driver.
Well ok the illusion is not perfect, since if the display is suspended the
next page flip will take a tad longer. But that's it.
I'll also add this to the TODO.
