For nv30 there are two layouts that each require one normalization, so
the "preference" (actually, a requirement) depends on the layout and
hence on the resource.

In general, it is per internal texture layout, but since internal
texture layouts are not exposed, it needs to be per-resource.

I don't think this is a bad thing though at all: the user code is very
simple (just a check of a flag on the resource) and the driver has a
lot of flexibility.
