Oh, before going forward, pleaste note that the first iteration
of this patch (as noted in the changelog) was applying the gamma lut
on .atomic_flush. However, Laurent and Jacopo pointed out that
it might add some tearing to do so, and that's why it was moved
to commit_tail.

I have to admit I'm not too sure about the difference between
applying this gamma LUT on atomic_begin or atomic_flush,
perhaps you can clarify that?

Thanks!
