Uff, that looks very hardware specific to me.
As far as I can see you can also implement completely inside the backend
by starting a timer on enable_signaling, don't you?

Add a way to hint to the fence signaler that a fence waiter has missed a
deadline waiting on the fence.
In some cases, missing a vblank can result in lower gpu utilization,
when really we want to go in the opposite direction and boost gpu freq.
The boost callback gives some feedback to the fence signaler that we
are missing deadlines, so it can take this into account in it's freq/
utilization calculations.
