Not multiplying the source color by source color makes a lot of sense.
But your CONSTANT_ALPHA with ALPHA of 1.0 is the same as just using ONE.
(you're still multiplying the src alpha by 1.0 with your change, not
replacing the source alpha value with 1.0).

Basically, I think your original patch is equivalent to this and bettter
than this, and if we want to actually make the no-alpha-bits-present
thing work, we need to override the bits in the surface state or in the
generated code.  In the normal draw path, it's done for sampling by the
swizzling code in brw_wm_surface_state.c, and the blending overrides is
just to fix up the alpha blending stage which doesn't pay attention to
that for the destination surface.

So, the original patch is:
