Come to think of it we'll probably just let the driver choose the scroll
method.

SCROLL_MOVE is faster at lower bit depths because the bitmap preparation
for the putcs method slows down SCROLL_REDRAW.  But as the bit depth
goes up, the amount of data moved by bmove goes up but at a higher rate
than the data moved by putcs. Thus SCROLL_MOVE loses its edge at 16-32
bpp. At what point these lines intersect we really don't know as it
depends on the hardware and the driver's imageblit/copyarea
implementation.
