I don't think that should block getting the vblank worker code in along
with the trivial change to the sprite code to avoid a wait_vblank in
the buffer switching case.  We've needed that since this code went in,
but for some reason Chris's code has been stalled the whole time (and
didn't we have a wq patch for the sprite unpin even before that?).
