Document that padding must be zero, and ensure userspace obeys that. If
there is ever need to re-purpose the pad field, requiring it to be zero
today makes re-purposing possible.

Alternatively, if it is likely that it might be used as alpha if
alpha-ful format is added, then it would make more sense to require it
to be 0xffffffff instead of zero. Then the kernel could internally
interpret it as alpha always without special-casing zero. Or, it could
be straight out called "alpha" to begin with, but document and verify
that it must be set to 0xffffffff which means opaque.

Looking good.
