Color management has nothing to do with an alpha channel.  Lcms may 
accept (and preserve) an existing alpha channel as a means of 
convenience.  What you are requesting is to divert these 
un-premultiply/re-premultiply steps into lcms, with lcms adding any 
needed intermediate buffering.  This might help with application-level 
buffering but it adds additional responsibility to lcms which 
increases complexity and might reduce performance for the other cases.

Perhaps there is a better approach than moving the responsibility into 
lcms?
