Padding 128 bytes of zeros are required by Gen HW. It is required for 
all shaders unless your compiler did it quietly.

It makes sense to combine the instructions into lib/i915/shaders/README 
and use existing python script to dump hex.

But the README seems to be outdated. I could not find intel-gen4asm when 
I follow the instructions to build intel-graphics-compiler. Can you 
update the README firstly to make it workable with latest 
https://github.com/intel/intel-graphics-compiler?
