I think I've found a solution which does not have the need for
explicit geometry generation:
Simply use a mask which has the same dimensions as the original image
(can also be a larger mask restricted with clipping), set a billinear
filter on the source and a nearest on the mask and after that apply
the same transformation to both source and mask.
It should give the desired result when REPEAT_PAD (or for cairo:
EXTEND_PAD) is used.
I am not 100% sure it works, because Xorg for now doesn't implement
REPEAT_PAD, but as far as I can imagine it should?
