G2D: Hardware acceleration for XCopyArea (initially 32bpp only)
Wrap CreateGC function to add a hook for CopyArea operation, which
can be accelerated using G2D for the buffers inside of the visible
part of the framebuffer. In the future we may try to also ensure
that DRI2 buffers are copied using G2D instead of CPU in the case
if we hit the fallback path and can't avoid this copy.
