[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] R600/SI: add a workaround for a scalar-memory-read hw bug on CI

Off hand I don't know any use case exept constant buffers where we use 
S_BUFFER_LOAD, but anybody who uses it should be aware how to use it.

What are the symptoms of issuing a S_BUFFER_LOAD with NumRecords=0? 
Hangs or just undefined behaviour?

Christian.
