Different purpose ;-)

This was just a drive by fix, which don't appear in that series.

Note that you can reduce both the x/y coordinates here and for use by
the 3D pipeline - which given that narrower coordinate range but ability
to operate on larger surfaces than the BLT is even more advantageous
(unless you force surfaces to linear if they are too big, how quaint).
