Looks like using DRM_MODE_PAGE_FLIP_EVENT is giving me a errno 22,
invalid argument.

Sure!
Here is the link to my forked repository. The commit and polling is in
igt_main().
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mtolakan/igt-gpu-tools
My suspicion is the commit is not asynchronous, which is why I am unble
to capture the page flip event. Please do let me know what you think,
thanks!
