            Bug ID: 99623
           Summary: Port BLORP to gen4
           Product: Mesa
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Drivers/DRI/i965
          Assignee: intel-3d-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jason at jlekstrand.net

This is something that Ken and I have been throwing around for some time now. 
The idea is that, if we port BLORP to gen4, then we can get rid of a lot of
meta paths by making them BLORP paths.  Right now, every time we replace a meta
path with blorp we have to keep the meta path because of gen4-5.  This would
hopefully allow us to simplify a number of different things.

I got a start on it some time ago.  Here's the very hacky branch.  At least it
has the XML:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/~jekstrand/mesa/log/?h=wip/blorp-gen4

I think we want to keep the full gen4 BLORP implementation internal to i965 and
not try to put it in blorp itself.  That way we can re-use things such as the
codegen for clip and SF programs.
