Hm why would we be triggering the hangcheck timer due to this code?
I'd rather figure that out and fix it before covering it up like this.

Wait for vblank off will spin until the display line reg stops
incrementing, so it's important that we flush any previous writes to
shut off the pipe before waiting. So adding a POSTING_READ() above it
might help? But that still doesn't explain why it would cause the
hangcheck timer to notice a hang...
