Yeah, unfortunately the vblank code pre-dates the KMS code by quite a
bit, so the IDs don't match.

But with the events emitted as in your previous patch, this should be a
harder case to hit, but it sounds like we need to make sure the flip
waits are dealt with too to avoid this from triggering at all on
Intel.  Or did you see other cases where the refcount was nonzero at
this point?
