I really don't like this. We've had epic amounts of bugs with atomic
drivers failing to send out vblank events when they should, and I added a
bunch of debug checks to make sure that doesn't happen anymore.

Now there's no way anymore for drivers to spot this until they have
misrenderings on wayland and no idea why. Imo this should only be used by
specific drivers, with a comment why exactly they need it.
