Hmm, not convinced that just marking it as HPD_MARK_DISABLED does that.
It certainly prevents the irq from sending the uevent, but we have not
yet disabled the irq or enabled drm_kms_helper.poll for this connector.
Though userspace polling is unaffected.

Looks sane.

Please don't put it below dri1 -- as it may then be confused with our
legacy burden.

if (time_is_after(dev_priv->hpd_stats[i].hpd_last_jiffies + msecs_to_jiffies(1000)))

Though it would be simpler if we just stored the adjusted
hpd_last_jiffies.
