As mentioned on IRC you are likely missing the most important parts for 
linking to be fully effective (splitting arrays and vectors). The 
following are the outstanding patches for i965.

https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/189449/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/189451/
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/189452/

With those there was a noticeable boost to the tessellation Vulkan demo 
for RADV if I'm remembering correctly.
