Yeah, my comment was under the assumption that there can be multiple
prepare/unprepare, and then it makes sense to reuse the refcounting we
already have. Still not sure it'll make sense to implement
prepare/unprepare refcounting in the vblank code, it'll be fairly tricky
in there. And for use useless, since our power well code already has
refcounting.
