I don't really prefer. This looks pretty good. Seems no less complex to me, but
I wrote the first one, so perhaps I'm partial.

Originally, I had some code in the equivalent function (before select_best was
separate) which would try fallbacks, ie. if Y tiled allocation failed, it'd go
down to the next modifier just walking down the bits, but logic is now gone, so
there isn't really a point in the bitmask.

Will respin with this and the fixes meant below.

As a general function to support modifiers, you are correct, however since this
is only called for image creation, I believe the existing warning is correct.

Nothing. It was meant to be handled in the entry points, but I missed it
apparently.
