I'd like to nominate this commit on master for 10.1.4

commit 9245206cbfaaa4e18c1f3715eebb5f281070d772
Author: Eric Anholt <eric at anholt.net>

    i965/vs: Use samplers for UBOs in the VS like we do for non-UBO pulls.

    Improves performance of a dolphin emulator trace I had laying around by
    3.60131% +/- 0.995887% (n=128).

It makes a really huge performance improvement for one application
that I am looking into, and the change is logically simple.  Should I
generate a patch and send it to mesa-stable to get it reviewed and
included?
