There is no way to avoid the vblank-irq and the mode_set_base() call racing
with each other and then delivering a blank event from what is actually
the page-flip which just completed.

Even with the old code, of we hold the lock over the mode_set_base() and then
the vblank-irq triggers while we are holding the lock this will block the
irq-handler until the mode_set_base() has completed (which is probably
only a couple 100s of usecs / max 1 msec) and then as soon as
gma_crtc_page_flip() releases the lock the irq-handler will continue
running and still prematurely deliver the vblank event.

In practice this is not a problem because userspace does:

-submit frame
-wait for vblank
-render new frame
-submit new frame
-wait for vblank

And the time it takes to render a new frame means that after the
first wait for vblank userspace never hits the race, unless
userspace cannot keep up (is rendering at say less then 60 fps)
in that case it may hit the race if it is only barely keeping up
and if it is only barely keeping up then userspace hitting / winning
the race is actually a good thing, because then it should start
rendering the next frame asap.

So TL;DR: we cannot avoid sometimes racing but in practice this
is not an issue. The kernel oopses this fixes OTOH are a real
issue.

I hope this helps explain why I still believe this is the right fix.

Hans
