[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 09/13] i965: Update workaround flush comments for Gen6 3DSTATE_VS.

Unfortunately, the workaround text never made it into the Sandybridge
PRM, so we still have to refer to the BSpec.

It also wasn't obvious why we needed this workaround at all, since we
don't currently do VS passthrough - but BLORP can turn off the VS.
