The goal is to get to no diff outside src/intel, at which point
anything that could break GL on master should be bisectable. This
isn't so much a question about full-history merge vs squash merge
though. If we didn't merge, we'd just have a giant squashed commit
that adds the entire vulkan driver, which is even less bisectable in
case of regressions.
