[Intel-gfx] [PATCH] drm/i915: Boost GPU clocks if we miss the pageflip's vblank

> If we miss the current vblank because the gpu was busy, that may cause a
> jitter as the frame rate temporarily drops. We try to limit the impact
> of this by then boosting the GPU clock to deliver the frame as quickly
> as possible. Originally done in commit 6ad790c0f5ac ("drm/i915: Boost GPU
> frequency if we detect outstanding pageflips") but was never forward
> ported to atomic and finally dropped in commit fd3a40242e87 ("drm/i915:
> Rip out legacy page_flip completion/irq handling").

Either of you like to ack the return of this code to the display
subsystem? It's still reactionary and will one day be replace by a pony,
or perhaps supplemented by one.
