[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2] intel: aubinator: use different colors to signal batch start/end

[Kenneth Graunke]

From: Lionel Landwerlin <llandwerlin at gmail.com>

This makes the stream of commands a bit easier to read.

v2 (Ken): Use bold text on green headers for easier readability;
          swap the green and blue headers so the majority stay blue.

Hi Lionel,

Your patch makes most headers basically unreadable in my terminal
(Konsole with the "Linux Colors" scheme):

How about this instead?  With bold text, the green is reasonably
readable, but I still find the blue nicer, so I kept that on the
majority of headers.  The bright green makes the batch start/end
stand out, which is a nice visual cue...
