[Mesa-dev] i965 implementation of the ARB_shader_image_load_store built-ins. (v2)

[Francisco Jerez]

This v2 is motivated by the less than enthusiastic reception of my
last two series implementing the image load, store and atomic
intrinsics in the i965 back-end.  It substitutes both.

The built-ins are now implemented in the scalar back-end only, what
means that IVB and HSW are no longer able to expose image support for
the VS and GS stages -- behaviour acceptable according to the
specification.  BDW and up should still be able to expose images in
the VS stage, and possibly in the GS stage at some point too.  CS
images can be supported on all gens (that support CS that is).  The
benefit is that the FS/VEC4 abstraction becomes unnecessary and the
overall set of changes amounts to less code.

It can be found in the following branch along with its dependencies:
