[Pixman] MIPS bilinear fast paths (src_8888_8_8888, src_8888_8_0565, src_0565_8_x888, src_0565_8_0565, add_8888_8_8888).

[Lukic, Nemanja]

Sure, I'll make necessary changes and resubmit patches.

Thanks,
Nemanja Lukic

The MIPS DSP ASE performance patches are always welcome. Just the
timing is a bit bad this time. Could you please update your patchset
and make it compatible with
    http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/pixman/2012-June/002085.html ?
So that the assembly code respects the interpolation precision
settings defined as BILINEAR_INTERPOLATION_BITS constant and "make
check" tests pass when setting it to 7 and 8. Thanks.
