Not sure what you mean here ... ? From a quick look the memset only sets
our temporary buffer, so we're not changing the input framebuffer here.
And we have to somehow get rid of the X bits, since there's no alpha
value. For CRC computation, all we need is some value which is the same
for every frame (so that the CRC stays constant for the same visible
output). For writeback we could write whatever we want (which includes
whatever is there already). But there's no guarantee and definitely no
expectation that the X bits survive. Writing 0 is imo the most reasonable
thing to do. I'm not even sure whether modern gpus can still do channel
masking (i.e. only write out specific channels, instead of the entire
color). That was a "feature" of bitop blitters of the 80s/90s :-)
