     zero, and the absolute value if DELTA will be smaller than or
     equal to the height of the screen matrix.

     The area that becomes free will be filled in a subsequent write
     call.  The purpose of the function is two-fold: It is called with
     an absolute value of DELTA smaller than the screen height to
     perform scrolling.  It is called with an absolute value of DELTA
     equal to the screen height to prepare a full refresh of the
     screen.  In the latter case the driver should not really perform
     any scrolling.  Instead it might deallocate limited resources
     (like display glyph slots and palette colors) if that helps to
     perform the subsequent write.  It goes without saying that the
     same deallocation, if any, should be performed on the area that
     will be filled with the scrolled in content.

     XXX Possibly need a function to invalidate scrollback buffer, or
     in general to signal a switch of the console so state can be
     reset.  Only do this if we make guarantees about validity of
     scrollback buffer, of course.

   resources, the caller might do nothing.  */

     automatically wrap around the edge.  However, LENGTH will never
     be so huge that the whole text starting from COL and ROW will go
     beyond the lower right corner of the screen matrix.

     must happen before returning from this call.

     The purpose of this function is to group several related change
     operations together, but also several change operations which
     occur in rapid succession.  The first grouping is essential to
     make it possible for a driver to implement double buffering.  The
     second grouping is important to keep up performance if there is a
