Right, and that is what I did in piglit b28cdc88, but:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/piglit/2014-April/010179.html
caused me to revert it (c20596b8).

Brian pointed out tests/shaders/glsl-fs-any.shader_test as an example
that failed on nvidia with b28cdc88.

Yet, b28cdc88 fixes
tests/spec/glsl-1.50/execution/geometry/point-size-out.shader_test on
nvidia, so hopefully there is a way to make nvidia happy on both
tests. :)
