The vmx fast path that I added also contains branches which skip over
transparent pixels.
From vmx_composite_over_n_8888_8888_ca:
<snip>
/* pm is NOT necessarily 16-byte aligned */
vmx_mask = load_128_unaligned (pm);
pack_cmp = vec_all_eq(vmx_mask, (vector unsigned int) AVV(0));
/* if all bits in mask are zero, pack_cmp is not 0 */
if (pack_cmp == 0)
{
<snip>
Unfortunately, the above check is only when the destination is aligned
to 16-byte boundary.
