The driver only initiates the flip after the upload of the new frame is complete
(with DMAForXv/DRI disabled, anyway...). One thing it doesn't do yet though is
wait for the previous flip to complete before uploading a new frame, which could
result in the upload overwriting the frame that's being displayed. Patch #7940
from bug 8938 was an attempt at fixing that, does it make any difference (for
better or worse) now?
