FS#11544 - iPod Nano2G Display Vsync

This patch enables display vsync on the iPod Nano 2G, currently only for the Type 1 (LDS176) display. It removes tearing and can make animation smoother. However, right now it uses an extremely CPU-unfriendly method of waiting for synchronization, which makes the display quite slow in some circumstances. I hope to implement DMA to copy the framebuffer, which should help somewhat. However, I am probably going to need some help to do this.

TheSeven gets all the credit for this patch, since he found where the Tearing Effect (vblank) signal was connected to the s5l8701 and wrote the vsync code. All I did was drop it into the display driver in the right spot.
