The drawing function cfbfillrect does not work correctly when access is not
unsigned-long aligned.  It manifests as extra lines of pixels that are not
complete drawn.  Reversing the shift operator solves the problem, so I would
presume that this bug would manifest only on little endian machines.  The
function cfbcopyarea may also have this bug.

Aligned access should present no problems.
