[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 0/7] Prehash all the things

[Thomas Helland]

Let's just put this whole thing on the shelf for now. I'm not quite sure
what happened, but I have probably measured the effect of some other
changes sometime when profiling, cause this series has no effect at all
within the margin of error. I'm seeing a 0.5% speedup on shader-db.
Definitely not worth the added complexity. I'll clean up the other
patches that I have laying and post those instead, as they can actually
have a certain impact on things.
