Everything I've tested works fine without these hacks. Variety of Mac, Linux, Windows, Intel, nVidia, AMD.
If these workarounds are for old unsupported systems let's clean house.

The is intended to replace the deprecated glPolygonStipple() calls with a shader
based alternative, once we switch over to GLSL shaders.

Moral of the story: Make sure that size_t is used whenever pointer
arithmetic is involved. For images, that basically means whenever any
squared dimensions are involved. Casting an operand to size_t early in
the operation is usually sufficient to force the entire operation to
size_t.
There might still be places lurking where we don't support this
correctly. This has been tested with render pipeline, quite a few image
functions (meaning we can paint on such images now, albeit somewhat
slowly ;) ) and export to jpeg. Too many places in code to check so I
guess we'll be handling cases as they come.
Don't try this at home unless you have an immense ammount of RAM.
First GPixel render of suzanne in the multiverse can be found here:

Can be viewed from blender (takes about 3.3 GB after loading but may
take more during loading so 8GB might be more safe to try this).
In this case we can calculate an offset without worrying about
perspective correction. Unfortunately if looking from a camera we still
have depth issues here. There's no really general case that can fix this
so I'm leaving this as is.
Issue is zfighting with wire of mesh when parts of the mesh are close
together. We can make this slightly better by reducing the offset,
however this offset is calculated pre-perspective division and can vary
greatly with distance. Correct approach would be using polygon offset,
however we draw mesh wireframes as lines, (not polygons with polygon
mode line) so this approach will not work.
Alternatively, we could set an offset in a shader, however we don't have
code for that either.
Preserve buffer form previous runs so it's possible to make
a compo of full frame, then draw a border and start tweaking
nodes and see updates in that border.
Main idea is to make it able to visually compare difference
between what was changed inside the border and how frame
looked before the tweaks outside of the border.
Also implemented Clear Viewer Border in compositor, shortcut
it Ctrl-Alt-B.

Was using wire or black in many places, this color is used for cursor,
camera guides, transform helper lines. So its possible to have a dark
background with light overlay color.
Patch D331 by Brita, with some edits.
Summary:
Mainly addressed to solve old TODO with color managed fallback
to CPU mode when displaying render result during rendering.
That fallback was caused by the fact that partial image update
was always acquiring image buffer for composite output and was
only modifying display buffer directly.
This was a big issue for Cycles rendering which renders layers
one by one and wanted to display progress of each individual
layer. This lead to situations when display buffer was based on
what Cycles passes via RenderResult and didn't take layer/pass
from image editor header into account.
Now made it so image buffer which partial update is operating
with always corresponds to what is set in image editor header.
To make Cycles displaying progress of all the layers one by one
made it so image_rect_update switches image editor user to
newly rendering render layer. It happens only once when render
engine starts rendering next render layer, so should not be
annoying for navigation during rendering.
Additional change to render engines was done to make it so
they're able to merge composite output to final result
without marking tile as done. This is done via do_merge_result
argument to end_result() callback. This argument is optional
so should not break script compatibility.
Additional changes:
- Partial display update for Blender Internal now happens from
the same thread as tile rendering. This makes it so display
conversion (which could be pretty heavy actually) is done in
separate threads. Also gives better UI feedback when rendering
easy scene with small tiles.
- Avoid freeing/allocating byte buffer for render result
if it's owned by the image buffer. Only mark it as invalid
for color management.
Saves loads of buffer re-allocations in cases when having
several image editors opened with render result. This change
in conjunction with the rest of the patch gave around
50%-100% speedup of render time when displaying non-combined
pass during rendering on my laptop.
- Partial display buffer update was wrong for buffers with number
of channels different from 4.
- Remove unused window from RenderJob.
- Made image_buffer_rect_update static since it's only used
in single file.

Uses some magic pseudo-random which is actually a
texture coordinate hashing function.
TODOs:
- Dither noise is the same for all the frames.
- It's different from Floyd's dither we've been
using before.
- Currently CPU and GPU dithering used different
implementation. Ideally we need to use the same
dither in CPU.

- Show alpha channel of the mask
- Multiply footage by the mask, which will give
you final-looking combined image.

It's now default to 2D textures, and no AUTO mode at this
moment, since detecting which method is the best not so
simple.
Image drawing could manually be switched to GLSL for tests
and feedback, but for default GLSL is not so much great.
Reason of this is huge images, where operations like panning
becomes dead slow comparing GLSL vs. 2D texture.
This option replaces previously added GPU limit
option, which became tricky to follow after GLSL
display space conversion.
There're 4 modes available:
- AUTO which will try to guess which mode is
best to use.
Currently It'll try using GLSL and if it fails,
will fallback to 2D textures.
Probably it'll make sense checking on whether
2D textures works well but currently such behavior
shall be sufficient.
Later we could make this method smarter (for example
don't try to use GLSL on certain GPU or so).
- GLSL will currently behave the same way as AUTO,
but it is intended to always try using GLSL
(unless it can not be used because of existing
limitation of dither and RGB curves).
- 2D Textures will use CPU-based color space conversion
and use OGL 2D Texture to display the image.
Image will be displayed in tiles, so there shall be
no big GPU memory consumption.
- DrawPixels will straightly fallback to glDrawPixels
without trying to use any fancy GPU stuff.
Hopefully this will also fix
#34943: Blender crashes when resizing the Compositing Screen Window
Issue was caused by some mesa drivers does not support GL_RGBA16F.
Now added check around glTexImage2D to verify whether requested
internal format is actually supported. If not blender will fall
back to non-GLSL image display.
- GLSL shader wasn't aware of alpha predivide option,
always assuming alpha is straight. Gave wrong results
when displaying transparent float buffers.
- GLSL display wasn't aware of float buffers with number
of channels different from 4, crashing when trying to
display image with different number of channels.
This required a bit larger changes, namely now it's
possible to pass format (GL_RGB, GL_RGBAm GL_LUMINANCE)
to glaDrawPixelsTex, This also implied adding format to
glaDrawPixelsAuto and modifying all places where this
functions are called.
Now GLSL will handle both 3 and 4 channels buffers,
single channel images are handled by CPU.
- Replaced hack for render result displaying with a bit
different hack.
Namely CPU conversion will happen only during render,
once render is done GLSL would be used for displaying
render result on a screen.
This is so because of the way renderer updates parts
of the image -- it happens without respect to active
render layer in image user. This is harmless because
only display buffer is modifying, but this is tricky
because we don't have original buffer opened during
rendering.
One more related fix here was about when rendering
multiple layers, wrong image would be displaying when
rendering is done. Added a signal to invalidate
display buffer once rendering is done (only happens
when using multiple layers). This solves issue with
wrong buffer stuck on the display when using regular
CPU display space transform and if GLSL is available
it'll make image displayed with a GLSL shader.
- As an additional change, byte buffers now also uses
GLSL display transform.
So now only dutehr and RGB curves are stoppers for
using GLSL for all kind of display transforms.
