Is there any easy way to get cairo to render into an xcb backend?

A search seems to indicate that all other backends just look for whether 
it is FAST/NEAREST or not. So they do not care about bilinear verses good.

I suspect some backends, in particular the drm ones, are not doing the 
filtering, and need a similar fallback. I am not clear however. Lots of 
other backends I think are doing "good" filtering even if bilinear is 
selected, this is probably ok.

It is probably best to add the config option or flag now. I think pixman 
will support this some day, though there certainly was resistance to my 
first attempt to send a patch for it.

I will try to add the flags indicating if the filters work and send 
another patch.
