[Mesa-stable] [PATCH 0/3] i965/gen6: Emit more flushes

In solving a HiZ hang before Christmas vacation, I discovered that Mesa wasn't
emitting sufficient workaround flushes.  That bug was solved in commit 1a92881.

This series, prompted by Ken, adds some more carefully placed flushes to
pre-emptively fix undiscovered gpu hangs.  Gpu hangs are difficult to diagnose,
hurt users pretty hard, and are overall nasty, so it's a good idea to put
safeguards into the driver to prevent them.

Chad Versace (3):
  i965/gen6: Set need_workaround_flush after each primitive
  i965/gen6/blorp: Set need_workaround_flush at top of blorp
  i965/gen6/blorp: Remove too heavy HiZ workaround
