When I was doing that (on a SA1100/SA1101 system) I found scrolling was
very slow unless I read from a virtual address that had the framebuffer
cached (in the mini-cache) - but wrote to the uncached address.
Unfortunately the two addresses were such that the naive copy code
always did a reverse copy :-(
