It is.

The problem is that currently don't have a point where we know that all
crtc are set up, so we can't just chuck the right drm_vblank_init call
into a modeset setup function.

But we could add a drm_mode_set_vblank_init which looks at
dev->mode_config.num_crtcs and for paranoia sets a flag which makes all
subsequent crtc_init fail loud.

In a perfect world we'd just move the vblank data into drm_crtc, but we're
not yet there. Ville' has already neatly split things up (mostly), and
I've started to consistently add and use vblank functions which take a
drm_crtc * instead of a pipe integer. But really not there yet by far.
