The three flavors:
~ Classic. EXA handles offscreen pixmaps itself. Simple, except when it breaks.
~ Driver. EXA lets the driver control pixmap allocation and placement.
Great if you have a memory manager.
~ Mixed. Like driver, but certain things have been tweaked to optimize
certain kinds of acceleration in a way that was never really explained
to me.

To go from driver to mixed is pretty simple; here's an example commit:
