And therefore, it makes no sense the diff contains change to uvideo(4)
only.  I know video(4) is a thin shim, but the blocking logic isn't
correctly placed.

One more comment.  If the bcopy's are skipped, what data is in those
buffers?  Are they zero'd freshly, or allocated with a M_ZERO type
allocation, or what's the story?  Or if one toggles the control do
the buffers continue to show old records rather than 'black'?
