I forgot to mention we are currently focusing on the scalar backend to fix
failed fp64 tests and running the tests on Broadwell (gen8) for now.
By enabling scalar GS in Broadwell by default, we would take advantage of our
previous work to add support for doubles in the scalar backend. Thanks to that
work, scalar GS not only shows no regressions on piglit but also passes the
crashed/failed fp64's geometry shader tests we have seen with vec4 backend.
Then, my question is if we can enable scalar GS in Broadwell by default or if
there are reasons to keep it disabled.
