I have my doubts about meething the deadlines here.
CONFIG_DRM_I915_DEBUG_VBLANK_EVADE should scream a bunch if it
looks like we're missing it.
That said, we already miss the deadline sometimes, esp. with
lockdep and whatnot enabled which makes the locking very expensive.
Also some ideas how to reduce the overhead:
- Try to make the mmio accesses lockless as much s possible
- Reduce the amount of work we do in the critical section
Anyways, RT hasn't really been on anyone's radar so no one
has yet spent significant amount of brain cells on this.
