Actually not, the second bug adds a loop which transform non-PRE surface 
to the PRE surface on the fly in software and scale it via OGL(before 
that, conversion and scale were done in software via transformhelper). 
In the JDK-8059943 we save one blit, which transform non_PRE BI to PRE. 
Plus it saves one more blit when we try to cache non_PRE BI into vram 
because this operation will be done via OGLGeneralBlit which also 
convert non-PRE to PRE on the fly.
