The old style frame counter increments at the start of active video.
However for i915_get_vblank_counter() we want a counter that increments
at the start of vblank.
Fortunately the low frame counter register also contains the pixel
counter for the current frame. We can can compare that against the
vblank start pixel count to determine if we need to increment the
frame counter by 1 to get the correct answer.
Also reorganize the function pointer assignments in intel_irq_init() a
bit to avoid confusing people.

The Direct Rendering Manager (drm) is a device-independent kernel-level
device driver that provides support for the XFree86 Direct Rendering
Infrastructure (DRI).
The DRM supports the Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) in four major
ways:
1. The DRM provides synchronized access to the graphics hardware via
the use of an optimized two-tiered lock.
2. The DRM enforces the DRI security policy for access to the graphics
hardware by only allowing authenticated X11 clients access to
restricted regions of memory.
3. The DRM provides a generic DMA engine, complete with multiple
queues and the ability to detect the need for an OpenGL context
switch.
4. The DRM is extensible via the use of small device-specific modules
that rely extensively on the API exported by the DRM module.
Documentation on the DRI is available from:
