The kernel overlay code does asynchronous overlay flips. So keep
onto two old buffers, for otherwise the rendering of the next
frame might overwrite the contents of the currently still displaying
one. With ~25fps videos and ~50 Hz screens that's rather unlikely,
still, fix it.

After passing the new buffer to the kernel, the old buffer is unpinned
and becomes available for re-use. So keep hold of the old buffer and
swap after a PutImage. This greatly reduces the amount of CPU time
consumed by the kernel on behalf of the video overlay -- by only
allocating two buffers for an entire sequence, we avoid clflushing and
page allocation on every frame.

After splitting out the i810 driver into its own legacy directory, we
can identify the common routines not as i830 but as intel. This
clarifies the code which *is* i830 specific.
