[PATCH] Add page flipping support to glamo

Yes, but they will need a minor patch to Android as well. Android is 
using FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO to do page flipping. The glamo driver does a 
whole lcd controller update when that happens which causes even worse 
flashing. Changing to use FBIOPAN_DISPLAY which only does the flip 
removes that flicker.

I've just updated the kernel and will update the rootfs in 
people.openmoko.org with new images.
