The drm core associates a timestamp with each vertical blank frame #.
Drm drivers can optionally support a 'high resolution' hw timestamp.
The vblank frame #/timestamp tuple is user-space visible.

The i915 drm driver supports a hw timestamp via this drm helper function
which computes the timestamp from the crtc scan position (based on the
pixel clock).

For mainline, the preempt_disable/_enable() isn't actually necessary
because every call tree that leads here already has preemption disabled.

For -RT, the maybe i915 register spinlock (uncore.lock) should be raw?
