Another way to do this would be to clip away zeros up front for source
images. For example, a new function pointer could be added to the
image struct:

        clip_zeros (pixman_image_t *image, pixman_region_t *region)

that would clip away those parts of region where the image is known to
be zero. Then, in pixman.c, this function could be called for both
source and mask if the operator was one where zeros had no effect.

That would benefit all operations and avoid cluttering these
macros. It would also cause the SAMPLES_COVER_CLIP to be set in more
cases.

I'm fine with this patch as is too though.
