Hm, since the fall-back only happens when the driver hasn't sent out the
even I think it'd be safe to split the driver cleanups into a separate
patch. Makes the core/helper changes stand out more properly.
Even the xen hunk I think isn't strictly needed, since that pick up the
event correctly and clears state->event to NULL.

I still think we should reword this entire paragraph to make the "hw has
no vblank" the main use-case, with writeback connectors as the "Also used

Just to clarify that this isn't done for everyone by default, but a helper
