Page flip is implemented in a later patch,
https://www.kraxel.org/cgit/linux/commit/?h=virtio-gpu&id=1e167e8e964f8e08100d315dd354cc0a4b090841
Since its a long way from an actual display, finding out when
something is actually displayed is hard,
but when we've posted it to the frontbuffer should be fine.
Oh nice. 100% exact timings aren't critical; it's more just having something to gate to 60fps that we can actually drive Weston's repaint loop off, as that's (not unreasonably) driven by pageflip events.
Cheers,
Daniel
