AFAIK all the Mesa drivers that support sync-to-vblank use the same
driconf option to control it.

I tried the clutter examples (clutter also uses the GLX_SGI_video_sync
extension) and they work fine, although unsurprisingly, they exhibit
tearing - the driconf option vblank_mode or the GLX_SGI_swap_control
extension are more effective at avoiding tearing.
If you're testing on a laptop with only the LVDS output enabled, you're
probably hitting http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10542 . If
so, the symptoms should be the same with the drm master branch.
I think this last change is definitely broken and should be reverted or
at least amended to reflect the actual hardware capabilities and to obey
the vblank interrupt enable/disable state for hardware that truly
doesn't have frame counters.
