I'd clarify the commit message here to say that it's *eventually* going
to contain all of the general data and be subclassed by callers.  On
first read, I was confused here since you still have to use
e->event.user_data until patch #7.

Personally, I'd also just squash patch #4 into this one.

I know it's nitpicking, but the term 'item' seems a bit vague/ambiguous
to me.  Maybe something like drm_vblank_task or drm_vblank_job would be
slightly more descriptive?  In the same vein, I'd suggest something like
"drm_schedule_vblank_job()" in place of drm_wait_vblank_kernel() and
"drm_trigger_vblank_job()" in place of drm_wait_vblank_callback().  Of
course this is all pretty much personal opinion, so feel free to ignore
this suggestion if you disagree.  :-)
