Okay, thanks for your answer.

The problem is that we need these for GLSL 1.30.  Since all the pieces
are falling into place on the Mesa side, we need to have support for
these operations soon on the Gallium side.  That's why I want someone to
actually implement these operations in at least one driver.  Especially
TXF; how hard would that really be for someone who understands the code
to implement in tgsi_exec?
