I don't really understand why you need to involve the core.

If you want to submit a frame earlier than display time, you can use the 
prepare() callback, which the core calls as early as it can, but no earlier 
than the previous frame's display().

At least VDPAU already submits the frame in prepare(). The X11 Present 
extension and the Wayland Presentation Queue, if we ever implement them, will 
do likewise.
