I think this is because intel does not provide an UploadToScreen hook
(because it has no vram). It hasn't made (visible) effort to
reintegrate UXA in EXA, because you can obviously be bit smarter than
what is currently being done. I've got an idea or two on how to
improve this, but intel should be more than capable in dealing with
this.
