[Pixman] [PATCH pixman] V7 implement PIXMAN_FILTER_GOOD/BEST

[Oded Gabbay]

Hi Bill,
Thanks for v7.
For future reference, when you resend a patch or a patch series, I
recommend that you follow the following guidelines (taken from the
Linux kernel community):

1. When creating the patches with git format-patch, add the following
flag: "--subject-prefix="PATCH vX". That way, the title of each patch
will contain the version information so it can be easily recognized to
which version it belongs.

2. Highlighting the major changes in the cover letter is very good.
However, you are supposed to write *every* change (maybe except
trivial spelling issues) in each of the patches commit messages, so
the person(s) reviewing your revised patches will know exactly what
was changed in each patch, instead of trying to guess from the cover
letter which patch has changed and which not. If the patch hasn't
changed at all, you can omit this part.

e.g. a sample commit message (six versions):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
amdkfd: Add amdkfd skeleton driver

This patch adds the amdkfd skeleton driver. The driver does nothing except
define a /dev/kfd device.

It returns -ENODEV on all amdkfd IOCTLs.

v3:

- Move bool field to the end of structure
- Removed the pmc ioctls
- Added a meaningful error message for ioctl error.

v5:

- Create a new folder drm/amd and move amdkfd from drm/radeon/ to drm/amd/
- Remove scheduler_class from kfd_priv.h as it was never used
- Add skeleton implementation of the Get Version IOCTL

v6:

- Update module version to the correct number
- Remove the "default m" from the Kconfig file

If you want/have the time to resend v7 with the guidelines I wrote, it
would be highly appreciated, but its not mandatory.

Thanks,

Oded
