//! CPU tone mapping, for when the hardware pipeline is not exposed.
//!
//! Mixing HDR and SDR layers is properly the display pipeline's job, but the
//! kernel does not expose one on every driver. Without a fallback an
//! application either refuses HDR content or shows it wrong, so this covers the
//! three cases that matter: SDR up into HDR, and HDR or HLG back down to SDR.
//!
//! # Pixel layout
//!
//! A `u64` holding four `u16` channels, little-endian: R in bits 0..16, G in
//! 16..32, B in 32..48, A in 48..64. Alpha passes through untouched — tone
//! mapping is a color operation and has no opinion about coverage. Callers on
//! 8-bit surfaces expand by 257 first and re-quantize after.
//!
//! # Why there are lookup tables
//!
//! Every transfer function here is a `powf` or an `exp`. Running one per
//! channel per pixel is three transcendentals per pixel each way, which at
//! 1080p60 is not a fallback, it is a stall. The curves are sampled once at
//! construction into 1024 buckets plus a sentinel, and per-pixel cost drops to
//! a lookup and a lerp.
