[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2 07/14] radeonsi: Add offchip buffer address calculation.

Instead of creating a memory area per patch and per vertex, we put
the same attribute of every vertex & patch together. Most loads
and stores access the same attribute across all lanes, only for
different patches and vertices.

For the TCS this results in tightly packed data for 4-component
stores.

For the TES this is not the case as within a patch the loads
often also access the same vertex. However if there are < 4
vertices/patch, this still results in a reduction of the number
of cache lines. In the LDS situation we only do better than worst
case if the data per patch < 64 bytes, which due to the
tessellation factors is pretty much never.

We do not use hardware swizzling for this. It would slightly reduce
the number of executed VALU instructions, but I had issues with
increased wait times that I haven't been able to solve yet.
Furthermore, the tbuffer_store intrinsic does not support both
VGPR offset and an index, so we have a problem storing
indirectly indexed outputs. This can be solved by temporarily
storing arrays in LDS and then copying them, but I don't think
that is worth the effort. The difference in VALU cycles
hardware swizzling gives is about 0.2% of total busy cycles.
That is without handling the array case.

I chose for attributes instead of components as they are often
accessed together, and the software swizzling takes VALU cycles
for calculating offsets.

v2: - Rename functions to get_tcs_tes_buffer_address.
    - multiply by 16 as late as possible.
    - Use  tgsi_full_src_register_from_dst.
    - Remove some bad comments.
