The patch

When we have a repeating source that's non-power-of-two in a
dimension, we can't turn on wrap for that dimension, but
if we aren't transforming then we can break the destination
area up into tiles, each tile contained completely within
a single copy of the source, and render the tiles one-by-one.

This turns out to make a big difference for the way that cairo
handles horizontal and vertical or gradients, which is to
render a thin strip (POT in the repeating direction, not-necessarily-POT
in the other), then tile it. Not having that as a software
fallback makes my desktop much more usable.
