This is not necessarily a showstopper. At least in theory. Do you
have any empirical evidence that it's a problem for you?

I would think that if you can disable the VSYNC interrupt from the gfx
card, that it would be even less of a problem. In my experience,
VSYNC interrupts on Linux don't help anyway - I've compared the
results with and without it enabled on both ATI and NVIDIA cards and
the display tears horribly (esp. when playing movies or moving windows
quickly) either way.
