Is it also possible to let the drivers do the 'deferred_io'
themselves?  Say, a driver that would flush the dirty pages on
every VBLANK interrupt.

Yes, I think so. The deferred_io callback that the driver would get
would be to provide them with the dirty pages list. Then, they could
use that to handle the on-vblank work.

It would be better if separate registering functions are created for
this functionality (ie deferred_io_register/unregister).


Ok. Will do it that way.
