memfillpoly is run in the kernel by devdraw. using fp there is

have you done any performance tests, or why are you contemplating
these kinds of optimizations?

The current implementation is broken in at least one way, and the
floating-point implementation would be much simpler.

Turns out I may have been wrong about it being faster; the current
implementation does perform the div/mod instructions only a few times
per segment.
