We need to figure out how a floating point implementation fits in
before it makes sense to review the code in detail, especially
considering that it clearly isn't yet close to being mergable (see
below).

My opinion is still that the floating point implementation should

- be the fallback from the current general implementation

- replace the existing 64 bit pipeline

- handle transformations and gradients

- not be compile-time optional

At which point, deleting support for some of the more unusual
operators and formats from the general implementation would be
possible, and the general implemenetation could be renamed to
something like "narrow" or "integer" and the floating point one to
"general".

A few specific comments:

I tried enabling it by moving it to the front of the list in
pixman-cpu.c, and it's safe to say it contains bugs... [1].

Looking over the code briefly, I notice that:

- It generates a crazy number of fast paths that are unlikely to ever
  be hit in practice.

- The conversion table is still huge and per-process.

- There has been no attempt to follow the coding style.
