-                This should be called by application level drivers before and
-                after mode setting, since on many devices the vertical blank
-                counter is reset at that time.  Internally, the DRM snapshots
-                the last vblank count when the ioctl is called with the
-                _DRM_PRE_MODESET command, so that the counter won't go backwards
-                (which is dealt with when _DRM_POST_MODESET is used).
+		This was only used for user-mode-settind drivers around
+		modesetting changes to allow the kernel to update the vblank
+		interrupt after mode setting, since on many devices the vertical
+		blank. Modern drivers should not call this any more since with
+		kernel mode setting it is a no-Op.
