In fact, pixman exposes only double matrices at this point, so the
server implementation stores both fixed point and floating point
variants in that format.

However, a GPU will likely want to stick with 32 bit values, which is
why I expressed the protocol using 32 bit floats; 64-bit computation in
the GPU is generally much slower than 32-bit.
