We should make sure that there are customers of such work. It only
makes sense to do this when everything else but FP64 are supported for
GL 4.0 (including tess). r600 (eg/ni) is an obvious customer, although
that may be easier to do in sb (I believe GlennK has been looking at
it, not sure how far he's gotten). Other than that... not sure. Could
be that Adreno A420 can do tess && has no native fp64 support, still
need to figure that out (hasn't been RE'd yet).
