[PATCH] libdrm: vblank wait on crtc > 1

Hi Alex,

Below is a patch against the master branch of libdrm that adds support 
for waits for vblank events on CRTCs that are greater than 1 (and thus 
cannot be represented using current primary/secondary flags interface). 
The patch adds a new DRM_CAP so that the application can check whether the 
new vblank interface is supported and also adds the new DRM_VBLANK mask 
and shift value so that the application can construct vblank_wait ioctls 
that refer to crtc > 1

The issue was discussed on the dri-devel list in these two threads
