You could convert repaper to the new helper.

IMHO it would be better to have a function that converts xrgb8888 to 
mono and let it handle the intermediate step of gray8.

The inner loop should probably go into a separate helper function. See 
the drm_fb_*_line() helpers in this file

At some point, we's want to have a single blit helper that takes source 
and destination formats/buffers. It would then pick the correct per-line 
helper for the conversion. So yeah, we'd want something composable.
