Hi Melissa,

First of all, thanks a lot for your patch!

Follows my inline comments.

Use static here.

Also, replace c_src to src, c_dst to dst, and a_src to alpha.

You can drop the part that says "IGT + cairo context", this explanation
better suit the commit message.

Use static.

Looks like that argb_src is a read-only variable, in this sense add
const.

change a_src to alpha.

I suppose that p stands for "pixel", right? In this case how about use
pixel?
