sink CRC calculation starts on the next active frame and takes a full
frame to finish the calculation. So 2 vblanks before the result is ready.

I don't believe we should move it for after reading it.

But it is a fact that this sink crc was always only a headache.
If we manage to move PSR tests to use the interrupts and status bits only
than we will be able to kill this sink crc code entirely....
