/*
  
  Iterator based JIT compiler

  There is a new structure that can be either source or
  destination. It contains function pointers that know how to generate
  pixels. The function pointers:

  Source iterators:

  - begin():		generates code that runs before the kernel
  - begin_line():	generates code that runs before each scanline
  - get_one_pixel():	   generates code that reads one pixel
  - get_two_pixels():	   --- two pixels
  - get_four_pixels():	   --- four pixels
  - get_eight_pixels():	   --- eight pixels
  - get_sixteen_pixels():  ---
  - end_line();
  - end();

  An iterator is associated with a format:

  format_4_a8r8g8b8
  format_16_a8
  format_8_a8r8g8b8
  and possibly others

  The iterator is supposed to return pixels in that format. It will
  never be asked to fetch more pixels than the format supports. Ie.,
  get_sixteen_pixels() will never be called if the format is
  format_4_a8r8g8b8().

  All the get_n_pixels() return a register where they left the pixel.

  There are also combiners. These are also associated with a format
  and know how to combine pixels in that format with each other.

  Destination iterators are responsible for driving a lot of the access?

  They have a method: process_scanline (src_iter, mask_iter, combiner)
  which is responsible for:

  - generating the inner loop,
  - calling src iter,
  - callling mask iter,
  - calling combiner
  - writing back

  They are specific to a format, and an intermediate format.

  There may also be setup()/setup_line() methods required.
