[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] i965/gs: Set the REORDER bit in 3DSTATE_GS.

[Paul Berry]

Ivy Bridge's "reorder enable" bit gives us a binary choice for the
order in which vertices from triangle strips are delivered to the
geometry shader.  Neither choice follows the OpenGL spec, but setting
the bit is better, because it gets triangle orientation correct.

Haswell replaces the "reorder enable" bit with a new "reorder mode"
bit (which occupies the same location in the command packet).  This
bit gives us a different binary choice, which affects both triangle
strips and triangle strips with adjacency.  Setting the bit gives the
proper order according to the OpenGL spec.

So in either case we want to set the bit.

On Ivy Bridge, fixes piglit test "triangle-strip-orientation".

On Haswell, fixes piglit tests "glsl-1.50-geometry-primitive-types
{GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP,GL_TRIANGLE_STRIP_ADJACENCY}" and
"glsl-1.50-geometry-tri-strip-ordering-with-prim-restart *".

+       * On Haswell, both triangle strips and triangle strips with adjacency
