Quick remarks from a fast read:
- you missed draw_pipe_clip.c:clip_init_state, where you need to plug
  in the gs info where appropriate.  Should be easy.  It will take
  care of the interpolation-on-clipping issues you currently have even
  if you don't know you have them :-)

- starting with 4.0 EmitVertex and EmitPrimitive are in fact
  EmitStreamVertex(0) and EmitStreamPrimitive(0).  It may be a good
  idea to implement the stream version at the ir_* level, even if the
  first implementation just ignores the parameter.

- all the is_*_shader boolean variables should probably be an integer
  "shader type" variable, since there will be two more types to add for
  4.0.

- I'm not sure we want to use _ARB versions of constants when the
  suffix-less versions exist and have the same value.

- cross_validate_outputs_to_inputs could use some kind of
  const char *_mesa_get_shader_type_string(gl_shader *sh) from
  somewhere like shaderapi.h.  We'll need two more shader types soon.

I'll see how hard the intel gen4 supports looks to be, shouldn't be
that bad.  Need to finish clipper first though.

Best,

  OG.
