The switch to RGB{A,X} from BGRA appears to cause problems for Radeon,
so the android-x86 folks are reverting that change. This change will
break them further. Perhaps the format just needs to be plumbed in.
I'm not sure, but that's been a common problem I've had to fix in
other drivers.

Not saying this isn't the right thing to do. Reverting 3 patches isn't
really much harder than 2.
