ddx/ati: Fix reporting of pageflip completion events on multi-head.
When a drawable is page-flipped on multiple crtc's (fullscreen drawable on mirror-mode or multi-head x-screen), only one pageflip event is finally delivered, after the last participating crtc signals flip completion, this to avoid visual corruption. Old code returned vblank count and timestamps of flip completion of this last crtc, instead of the values of the "master crtc", the one that was used for initially scheduling/triggering the pagflip via vblank events. (master = radeon_dri2_drawable_crtc(drawable)) This patch makes sure that the pageflip completion values of the "master" crtc are returned, otherwise client applications will get confused by the random (msc, ust) values returned by whichever crtc was the last to complete its flip. Without this, the returned values change randomly and jump forward and backward in time and count. The patch also implements a consistency check on returned vblank count values of pageflip completion. Impossible values are detected, a x-warning is logged and returned (msc,ust) values are marked invalid, so clients could perform error handling. Such a warning would indicate bugs in the pageflip completion routine of future kms drivers or the ddx to aid driver debugging. Signed-off-by: Mario Kleiner <mario.kleiner@tuebingen.mpg.de>
