[Mesa-dev] [Mesa-stable] [PATCH] i965/bdw: Fix 3DSTATE_VF_INSTANCING when the edge flag is used

[Neil Roberts]

Hi Emil,

I posted a v2 of this patch because the v1 wouldn't work in combination
with a fix for bug 84677. I think it would be better to wait for review
on those two and land both of them instead of this patch.

Neither of them are particulary urgent bugs so it's probably not worth
worrying about too much. But of course a bug is a bug so it would be
nice to land them at some point.

Regards,
