lib/igt_fb.c is the main thing. It has a bunch of conversion magic
to support rendering into all kinds of weird framebuffer formats
via cairo. 

In this should be mostly a matter of adding convert_uint16_to_float()
and convert_float_to_uint16(), plugging those into fb_convert(),
and declaring the new formats in format_desc[]. There might be
a few little extra details I'm forgetting though.

Once igt_fb has the required stuff kms_plane/pixel-format*
should automagically pick it up if the kernel reports the
format as supported.

Oh, and you need some >1.17 version of cairo for the float
support.
