It seems conceptually the wrong layer to have these be done
by the individual device models (similarly there's a bunch of
pixel twiddling done in hw/pl110_template.h). It would be nicer
if this was done by some generic layer instead so the device
model just said "this is a 32 bit BGR framebuffer"...
