Sorry for the late reply! Looking into it...

solution makes sense and fixes the issues you were seeing back when you
posted the patch in commit:

     drm/nouveau/kms/nv04-nv40: fix pageflip events via special case.

     Cards with nv04 display engine can't reliably use vblank
     counts and timestamps computed via drm_handle_vblank(), as
     the function gets invoked after sending the pageflip events.

     Fix this by defaulting to the old crtcid = -1 fallback path
     on <= NV-50 cards, and only using the precise path on NV-50
     and later.

Do you happen to still have the setup around where you saw this?

     drm/irq: Make pipe unsigned and name consistent

Trigering a warning when trying to sample the vblank timestamp for a
non-existing pipe. There's a few ways to fix this:

- Open-code the old behaviour, which just enshrines this slight
   breakage of the userspace ABI.

- Revert Mario's commit and again inflict broken timestamps, again not
   pretty.

- Fix this for real by delaying the pageflip TS until the next vblank
   interrupt, thereby making it accurate.

This patch implements the third option. Since having a page flip
interrupt that happens when the pageflip gets armed and not when it
completes in the next vblank seems to be fairly common (older i915 hw
works very similarly) create a new helper to arm vblank events for
such drivers.

Note that due to lack of hw this is completely untested. But I think
it's the right way to fix this.
