Have done some testing on the RPi and this patch allows me not having to
sync in a loop while waiting for buffer releases in SwapBuffers.

I'm a bit concerned though about applications that install frame callbacks
for reasons other than knowing when to start to draw, such as gathering
timing statistics. I'm also concerned about making things more complicated
and thus harder to debug.

I have seen a flag proposed to enable or disable the queueing of release
events, but I'm not sure what would make most sense to be the default value
of it.

Tomeu
