[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 3/9] gallium: add hw atomic buffer binding API.

[Dave Airlie]

From: Dave Airlie <airlied at redhat.com>

This API binds atomic buffers for all bound shaders (as per the
GL semantics).

This is needed to support cross shader hw atomic counters.

+Hardware Atomic buffers
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Buffers containing hw atomics are required to support the feature
+on some drivers.
+
+Drivers that require this need to fill the ``set_hw_atomic_buffers`` method.
