Lowering/layout is pretty much the same as direct descriptors. The
caveats is that since the descriptor buffers are not visible from the
binding tables we can't promote anything to the binding table (except
push descriptors).
The reason for this is that there is nothing that prevents an
application to use both types of descriptors and because descriptor
buffers have visible address + capture replay, we can't merge the 2
types in the same virtual address space location (limited to 4Gb max,
limited 2Gb with binding tables).
If we had the guarantee that both are not going to be used at the same
time, we could consider a 2Gb VA for descriptor buffers.

Those samplers live in the dynamic state base address and their offset
can be directly baking into the shaders.

We had the unfortunate finding on a recent platform to learn that the
bindless sampler heap is not functioning as expected.
Nowhere in the documentation is the size of the heap written down. So
most people assumed that's the max number that we can program (4Gb).
The reality is that it's only 64Mb.
Though it is appearing like it's working properly for the whole 4Gb
range for most apps, this is only because the HW bounds checking
applied is broken. Instead of clamping anything beyong 64Mb, it's only
clamping the last 4Kb of each 64Mb region.
So this heap is useless for us to make a 4Gb region of both sampler &
surface states...
This change essentially turns off the bindless sampler heap on DG2+.
The only location where we can put SAMPLER_STATE elements is the
dynamic state heap. Unfortunately we cannot align the dynamic state
heap with the bindless surface state heap. So the solution is to
allocate sampler & surface states separately, each from the own heap
in the descriptor pool.
We now have to provide 2 sets of offsets for surfaces & samplers.
