Yes, I felt inclined to add the suffix but wasn't sure how good/bad a
practice it is, so I deferred it to review :).

Now, I did a quick experiment and it turns out I can reuse
image_deref_load_param_intel as-is. The semantics are a bit different so
I would have to fork the comment to explain ir3 too.

So, what about I remove the '_intel' suffix to that one and use if for
this ir3?

Thanks for the feedback and the tip!
