// display and uses that model to execute period callbacks at specific phase
// offsets from the hardware vsync events.  The model is constructed by
// feeding consecutive hardware event timestamps to the DispSync object via
// the addResyncSample method.
//
// The model is validated using timestamps from Fence objects that are passed
// to the DispSync object via the addPresentFence method.  These fence
// timestamps should correspond to a hardware vsync event, but they need not
// be consecutive hardware vsync times.  If this method determines that the
// current model accurately represents the hardware event times it will return
// false to indicate that a resynchronization (via addResyncSample) is not
