This can be considered the equivalent of a CPU memcpy.
``blit`` blits a region of a resource to a region of another resource, including

As opposed to manually drawing a textured quad, this lets the pipe driver choose
the optimal method for blitting (like using a special 2D engine), and usually
offers, for example, accelerated stencil-only copies even where
