First part is right. Second part about drm_crtc_send_vblank event just
sends out the vblank directly (using the last recorded vblank). The
vblank subsystem doesn't itself interact with any interrupt.

Note that there's kerneldoc for all of this. Please make sure it does
describe things sufficiently well, and if not please send in patches
to improve them.
