[Mesa-dev] ARB_occlusion_query2

[Marek Olšák]

It's actually a nice optimization opportunity. Some hardware might stop
rendering immediately after the first sample passes the depth test and all
following draw operations can then be safely ignored, provided there are no
writes to any buffer. Particularly software rasterizers might benefit from
this.

The R300 TODO is just a wishlist of things the hardware/driver could do.
