[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] i965: Emit Ivybridge VS workaround flushes.

I recently discovered this text in the BSpec.  It seems wise to comply,
though I haven't observed it to fix anything yet.

Fixes a regression in glean/fbo since 28cfa1fa213fe.

NOTE: This is a candidate for stable release branches.

This also obsoletes Eric's uncommitted patch
i965/gen7: Always allocate push constant space before uploading.
as it fixes the same problem without such a large performance hit.

My theory is that since 3DSTATE_PUSH_CONSTANT_ALLOC_VS is a non-pipelined
command, emitting it at the top of upload_vs_state effectively served the
same purpose (only a much harsher flush).
