Ack on fixing this. Not sure what exactly the interface should look like,
since right now igt does open/close the crc capture file a lot of times.
We'd need to change the igt backend quite a bit.

Ack here too, totally forgotten about this one.

Either we go with the cooked vblank counter or both. Maybe both while at
it, it might come handy ... One problem is with CRC capturing in the sink,
where it's ill-defined how a sink frame corresponds to the drm vblank
counter. In that case we might need to return 0x######## or something else for
"invalid".
