commit 0a3e67a4caac273a3bfc4ced3da364830b1ab241
Author: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>
Date:   Tue Sep 30 12:14:26 2008 -0700

    drm: Rework vblank-wait handling to allow interrupt reduction.

to stay backwards-compatible with old UMS code that didn't even tell
the kernel when it did a modeset, so that the kernel could
save/restore vblank counters. At worst this means vblanks will be
somewhat funky on a setup that very likely no one still runs.

So let's just nuke it.

Plan B would be to set it unconditionally in drm_vblank_init for kms
drivers, instead of in each driver separately. So if this patch breaks
anything please only restore the hunks in drmP.h and drm_irq.c, plus
add a check for DRIVER_MODESET in drm_vblank_init.

Stumbled over this in a discussion on irc with Chris.

v2: Remove leftover debug gunk from psr hacking (Alex).

Seems reasonable to me.
