+ * FIMXE: Need to replace this hack with proper seqlocks.
+ *
+ * Restrict the bump of the software vblank counter to a safe maximum
+ * value of +1 whenever there is the possibility that concurrent readers
+ * of vblank timestamps could be active at the moment, as the current
+ * implementation of the timestamp caching and updating is not safe
+ * against concurrent readers for calls to store_vblank() with a bump
+ * of anything but +1. A bump != 1 would very likely return corrupted
+ * timestamps to userspace, because the same slot in the cache could
+ * be concurrently written by store_vblank() and read by one of those
+ * readers without the read-retry logic detecting the collision.
+ *
+ * Concurrent readers can exist when we are called from the
+ * drm_vblank_off() or drm_vblank_on() functions and other non-vblank-
+ * irq callers. However, all those calls to us are happening with the
+ * vbl_lock locked to prevent drm_vblank_get(), so the vblank refcount
+ * can't increase while we are executing. Therefore a zero refcount at
+ * this point is safe for arbitrary counter bumps if we are called
+ * outside vblank irq, a non-zero count is not 100% safe. Unfortunately
+ * we must also accept a refcount of 1, as whenever we are called from
+ * drm_vblank_get() -> drm_vblank_enable() the refcount will be 1 and
+ * we must let that one pass through in order to not lose vblank counts
+ * during vblank irq off - which would completely defeat the whole
+ * point of this routine.
+ *
+ * Whenever we are called from vblank irq, we have to assume concurrent
+ * readers exist or can show up any time during our execution, even if
+ * the refcount is currently zero, as vblank irqs are usually only
+ * enabled due to the presence of readers, and because when we are called
+ * from vblank irq we can't hold the vbl_lock to protect us from sudden
+ * bumps in vblank refcount. Therefore also restrict bumps to +1 when
+ * called from vblank irq.
