[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 0/9] i965: Re-implement the gen9 void-extent ASTC WA with BLORP

The current workaround has two issues. It causes significant slow-downs [1] in
application startup times and uses the modified ASTC blocks for non-sampling
operations. This can result in incorrect texture downloads.

This series addresses the latter issue by keeping two copies of an ASTC
miptree: one that's been modified for the sampler bug (the shadow) and another
that hasn't (the main). The main copy is used for pixel transfer operations and
the shadow is used for sampling within a shader. The former issue is addressed
by exchanging multiple GTT-mapped memory accesses at texture upload time with a
render engine read and write at sampling time.

At the moment, I don't have any empirical data on the performance
implications nor on the bug fixes. I'm trying to get my hands on one of
the affected benchmarks. This series does pass our CI system.
