[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v2 4/4] i965/gen9: Add workarounds for object preemption.

Gen9 hardware requires some workarounds to disable preemption depending
on the type of primitive being emitted.

We implement this by adding a new atom that tracks BRW_NEW_PRIMITIVE.
Whenever it happens, we check the current type of primitive and
enable/disable object preemption.

For now, we just ignore blorp.  The only primitive it emits is
3DPRIM_RECTLIST, and since it's not listed in the workarounds, we can
safely leave preemption enabled when it happens. Or it will be disabled
by a previous 3DPRIMITIVE, which should be fine too.
