[Mesa-dev] [PATCH V2 04/22] i965: refactor format munging for separate stencil

[Chris Forbes]

They do -- you can create views of any format that is legal for
TexStorage*. Each of the formats not listed in the table in the
ARB_texture_view spec has its own equivalence class, so no casting is
possible. This is still useful if you want to restrict levels or
layers, or vary texture parameters. [The interaction with
ARB_stencil_texturing is a good example of why you might want to]
