I always go through the same thought process:

- putting the pixel iteration loop outermost is going to be horrible
  for performance

- maybe should turn the temporary line buffer to argb_s32 for all of
  VKMS

- that's going to be a lot of memory traffic... maybe your way is not
  horrible for performance

- maybe processing pixel by pixel is good, if you can prepare the
  operation in advance, so you don't need to analyze colorops again and
  again on each pixel

- eh, maybe it's not a gain after all, needs benchmarking

My comment on patch 17 was like the step 0 of this train of thought. I
just always get the same comments in my mind when seeing the same code
again.


Thanks,
