I guess just 'if (is_i915) check_suspicious_crc()' should help.
Though I'm not 100% sure we can't get those on some i915 platforms too.

AFAICS if the dest alpha and color are both 0.0 the only fb that is
wrong is argb_fb_0 since the current code will in fact give us
alpha of 1.0. draw_squares() with OVER should still give us the
same results as we'd get with SOURCE.

I guess this means any test which is currently using argb_fb_0
is definitely not testing per-pixel alpha. 

So argb_transparant() and basic_alpha() are simply useless atm?

constant_alpha_min() sets pixel_blend_mode to None anyway so
doesn't really matter what we have in the alpha channel.

Not sure why those tests aren't doing the gray_fb thing the other tests
are using...

Anyways, no point in blending when you don't have to so
the patch seems to make sense to me either way:
