Cc += Mario Kleiner, Mario, can you take a look whether this proposed
solution makes sense and fixes the issues you were seeing back when you
posted the patch in commit:

commit af4870e406126b7ac0ae7c7ce5751f25ebe60f28
Author: Mario Kleiner <mario.kleiner.de at gmail.com>
Date:   Tue May 13 00:42:08 2014 +0200

    drm/nouveau/kms/nv04-nv40: fix pageflip events via special case.

    Cards with nv04 display engine can't reliably use vblank
    counts and timestamps computed via drm_handle_vblank(), as
    the function gets invoked after sending the pageflip events.

    Fix this by defaulting to the old crtcid = -1 fallback path
    on <= NV-50 cards, and only using the precise path on NV-50
    and later.

Do you happen to still have the setup around where you saw this?
