I've updated my interlaced branch. Changes:
- Adjust vertical timings as Paulo discovered. I've dropped the change in
  drm_mode.c and instead substract one more from vtotal. I hope that this
  results in the same configuration.
- Added a paranoia patch to not set unsupported bits on gen2.
- Addes support for vsyncshift. The hw seems to use that to correctly
  insert the half-line delay when switching between even and odd fields.
  That might also explain why we have to substract a little bit from
  vtotal and vblank_end.

Testing feedback highly welcome. And if you can, please compare you
register-settings with those from windows/bios. I'll also add the
VSYNCSHIFT registers to intel_reg_dumper.

Cheers, Daniel
