Yes, there are no regressions with piglit. Thanks for reviewing.

By the way, I'm also not sure if this is the right way of doing it, 
especially if we'll need to pass more parameters for any new features.

Possibly some other ways could be more preferable, e.g. to put it with 
any other data that we may need in the future into internal const buffer 
(like we do in r600g for clip planes etc), or maybe there are other ways 
on SI that I'm not aware of yet?
