Well the frame numbers reported to userspace by vblank/page flip code
are based on a software counter maintained by the drm vblank code.
.get_vblank_counter() is the real hardware counter. I guess you mean
that we should try to report the software counter for userspace here
as well. Sounds reasonable.
