[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 2/4] genxml: Increase the field length by 1 bit.

VS, HS, DS and GS URB Starting Address field on the respective
3DSTATE_URB_?S instructions is 5 bits on gen7. However, if VS is the
only step enabled, the whole URB gets allocated (except for push
constant space) for the VS. But on some configurations, the size of the
URB is 32 "chunks" (8kB each chunk), so the starting address for all the
other shaders would be 32. But the field does not allow that (5 bits
means the max value is 31), and if we are using genxml, it will enforce
that we don't go over this size.

Unfortunately, the current code makes use of 6 bits (bits 30:25 and bit
31), by setting that to 32, so the 1 bit that is said on the
documentation to be MBZ is actually set to 1. But it works fine with
that.

I tried setting that address field to 0 when those shaders are not
active, while keeping the MBZ bit (31) at zero too, but that causes GPU
hangs. So my guess here is that the documentation is wrong and that this
field is actually 6 bits long, instead of 5.

Additionally, the same happens on Haswell, with these fields being 7
bits long instead of 6.
