I think the current drm trace events are sort of semi-useless.
The problems are:
- no device id in the events so good luck with multi gpu systems
- vblank trace events are only emitted from some vblank
  codepaths but not others

I'm also not sure putting an event straight into the atomic ioctl is
particularly useful.

First of all it means that any commit not initiated by the atomic
ioctl will not be traced.

It would also seem more useful to me if the driver can emit the
trace just before it commits the frame to the hardware, so that
we can also observe the latency between userspace submitting
the frame vs. when the hardware will actually see it.

Also if we want tools to use these I think we're going to have to
make some kind of abi promises about the events, so we should make
sure they are as future proof as we can make them (eg. regarding
mutli-gpu systems/etc.).
