Sorry, but I still don't see the error condition that you are
describing. AFAICS, the unmap will happen after the last pageflip has
completed.

That's fine, but if a pageflip is pending when the client requests the
CRTC to be disabled, we need to wait for the event to be emitted
before we actually disable the HW.
