hmm what about shared memory graphics (such as Intel) and migration from video
memory to system memory. I guess this kind of migration could be avoided at
all as CPU should be equally fast with both the "video" memory and the system
memory. Or is there any reason why to memcpy pixmaps from vram to ram in
shared graphics case?
