It is more likely that we did not detect a downclock mode before now and
so this is the first time that is being used in anger. (There should be
some telltales in drm.debug dmesg) If you are really, really brave you
can try http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~ickle/linux-2.6/log/?h=fastboot
which only triggers the downclock on a vblank.
