Tested on a variety of machines, nouveau/nvidia, radeon/fglrx and intel.
Only on Haswell did I see a significant improvement - but out of
proportion with reduction in CPU overhead here, so likely a secondary
affect.

Patch looks ok, I was just quibbling over whether using an id enum and a
single location array would make the callers more readable.

Reviewed and pushed, thanks.
