- intel_check_page_flip is exclusively called from irq handlers, so a

   look strange and als be a bit a misleading name. I've opted for a
   WARN_ON(!in_irq()) instead.

Hi Daniel,

 Is it possible to use in_interrupt() instead? Sorry to tell that, in
our iGVT-g implementation, the host i915 irq handler needs to be called
in a non hardirq driven context. i.e. a tasklet or workqueue.

 Will send you the RFC patches soon. Just saw a warning after rebased
upon new drm-intel-nightly.
