I do not know how Android does things these days but back in the
days it would request a virtual framebuffer twice the height of the
physical framebuffer and then pan that up/down between composing
frames, thus achieving a type of double-buffering from userspace.

Given the type of bugs Peter is seeing this seems to still be the
case, Peter can you confirm?
