[Mesa-dev] draw_stream_output seems to be broken by design

Well, of course you don't store it in the client data structure.
In the driver-specific part of the data structures, you store some
kind of reference to the GPU-side object where you instruct the GPU to
put the count.
In softpipe instead you indeed store the value itself, obviously.

The problem is:
1. In which data structure do you store that handle? pipe_context is
good enough for D3D10, but not for ARB_transform_feedback2, where the
stream output CSO is the natural place
2. How do you pass to Gallium the id parameter to DrawTransformFeedback?
3. How do you handle pause/resume in ARB_transform_feedback2? (it must
_not_ reset the count)
4. How do you handle begin/end in ARB_transform_feedback2? (it must
reset the count)
5. How do you handle multiple transform feedback objects pointing to
the same buffer(s)? (i.e. don't associate the count to the vertex
buffer)
