Bypass all the spinlocks and return the last timestamp and counter from
the last vblank if the driver delcares that it is accurate (and stable
across on/off), and the vblank is currently enabled.

This is dependent upon the both the hardware and driver to provide the
proper barriers to facilitate reading our bookkeeping outside of the
vblank interrupt and outside of the explicit vblank locks.

Hmm. I'm wondering if this could give us something stale if we're just
about to enable the vblank interrupt.

We seem to set enabled=true before we update the count/ts. So I'm 
thinking we'd need to flip those around and make sure proper barriers
are in place.

Yes, that is a valid concern.
