1066138 - Fix dealing with A8 formats in TextureClientD3D11 and D2D 1.1

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Bas Schouten (:bas.schouten)]

Attachment: Disable using TextureClientD3D11 for A8 surfaces and fix various TextureClientD3D11 A8 bugs.

Currently we're trying to use A8 surfaces in TextureClientD3D11. With D2D 1.0 this works because of a bug but is wasteful (because of the way our masking code currently works), in D2D 1.1 this patch fixes it properly but makes some tests fail at the moment. This patch disables using TextureClientD3D11 for them altogether, falling back to software for mask layers. This performs better than the current approach where we first draw into a software DT, then copy into a TextureClientD3D11, doing the upload and then having to synchronize that texture to the compositor.

We should fix this properly and draw the mask directly into a D2D 1.1 surface, but I believe we should do that in a followup.
