Would be nice to fake this a bit more accurately and round the timestamp
here to a multiple of the frame duration, i.e. ...

		now = vblank->time + diff * vblank_framedur_ns;

Picking the right macro for doing 64bit multiplies left to you :-)

Somewhat unhappy that we're duplicating this logic with
drm_update_vblank_count, but it's just 2 lines of math.
