Hi, Ville!

Thank you for the review! :)

I do not understand well what crc code is doing, but the issue that I found
is related to the vblank timestamp and frame count.

When vkms handles the crc_cursor it uses the start frame and end frame
values to verify if it needs to call the function 'drm_crtc_add_crc_entry()=
'
for each frame.

However, when getting the frame count, the code is calling the function
drm_update_vblank_count(dev, pipe, false) and, because of the 'false',
subtracting the actual vblank timestamp (consequently, the frame count
value), causing conflicts.

Does it make sense? I am not sure about this crc code behavior.
