For the 8 bit Y format you should then define it as 8 bits. Unless of
course it really is defined as a 32bit word containing 4 pixels. The
10 bit case would be even funky since there would have to be two
bits of padding after every 3 pixels.

So are these really defined as 32 bit wits 3 or 4 pixels and potentially
a few bits of extra padding packed into each word? That seems rather
nuts to me because you can't even byte address each pixel.

I think such crazyness has no business living right next to the
sane formats, hence we should put all these into their own little
section of the header, and the names should somehow reflect that
they are in fact "special".
