Pixman renderer is still experimental, and doesn't provide advantage over bbulk. It also requires a specific API of the video backend, so removing it will allow to simplify drm2d and fbdev backend. It also slowed down feature development like rotation or mouse support. Signed-off-by: Jocelyn Falempe <jfalempe@redhat.com>
Now that pixman has been removed, the blit callback has no user, so it can be removed to. This simplifies the video backends, and will allow better optimizations later. Signed-off-by: Jocelyn Falempe <jfalempe@redhat.com>
