So this is what the spec says (GL4.4, page 322/323):

An INVALID_OPERATION error is generated by any commands which
modify, draw from, or query vertex array state when no vertex array is bound.
This occurs in the initial GL state, and may occur as a result of
BindVertexArray
or a side effect of DeleteVertexArrays.

And this is what one of the piglits in question does:

[test]
clear color 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
clear
draw arrays GL_TRIANGLES 0 3
probe all rgba 0.0 1.0 0.0 1.0

and this is what shader_runner does:

if (link_ok && vertex_data_start != NULL) {
  program_must_be_in_use();
  if (gl_version.num >= 31) {
    GLuint vao;

    glGenVertexArrays(1, &vao);
    glBindVertexArray(vao);
  }

  num_vbo_rows = setup_vbo_from_text(prog, vertex_data_start,
    vertex_data_end);
  vbo_present = true;
}

So.... what's the right move here? I think it might actually be to
change shader_runner to always generate a VAO even if there is no
vertex data. I haven't checked, but I suspect it would also fix the
piglit failures, and leave the current mesa code in place.

Thoughts?
