D25299: Composite without timer on swap events

[David Edmundson]

  Urgh, no.
  
  I had an unsubmitteed comment for moving forwards.
  
  This patch takes 1 step backwards in order to eventually go 2 steps forward.
  A perfectly sensible strategy, but I don't like having master that goes backwards without a completely solid plan to go forward.
  The risk of things not getting completed and us releasing something that makes things worse are too high.
  
  But I don't want to hold this up, so in order to resolve this in a way where we can all keep moving forward, I have a proposal:
  
  - I'll approve it, but we merge this commit as-is into a feature branch, rather than master
  - We can then then do the next review based on that branch
  - We can work, hack, rebase and submit reviews on that branch (and vlad and I can help run and rebase it and whatever)
  - Master stays "sunny"
  
  Then when we have the vsync timer we can merge this all into master. Everyone wins.
