This reverts commit de6fd527a5.
Revert this workaround as it seems the real trouble is caused by
lineloop, which doesn't require GS convert on sandybridge actually.
Gen4 and Gen5 hardware can have a maximum supported nesting depth of 16.
Previously, shaders with control flow nested 17 levels deep would
cause a driver assertion or segmentation fault.
Gen6 (Sandybridge) hardware no longer has this restriction.
Fixes fd.o bug #31967.
This adds a new optional max_depth parameter (defaulting to 0) to
lower_if_to_cond_assign, and makes the pass only flatten if-statements
nested deeper than that.
By default, all if-statements will be flattened, just like before.
This patch also renames do_if_to_cond_assign to lower_if_to_cond_assign,
to match the new naming conventions.
Michel Hermier reported libdrm segfault (and kernel crash) on nv40 using
gallium :
http://www.mail-archive.com/nouveau@lists.freedesktop.org/msg06563.html
It turns out these were caused by some missing WAIT_RING (or wrong
computation of the WAIT_RING sizes). Unlike all other libdrm_nouveau users,
nvfx gallium tried to use a mininum calls of WAIT_RING, one WAIT_RING could
apply to many methods for different code paths and spread across several
functions. This made it too tricky to find out what the missing or wrong
WAIT_RING was.
By restoring BEGIN_RING, we force one WAIT_RING per method, and it's much
easier to check if the free size required in the pushbuffer is correct. As
curro said, "let's keep it simple for the maintainers until the big
bottlenecks are gone"
Benchmarked on nv35 with openarena, nexuiz and ut2004 and no performance
regression.
The core of this patch was made with Coccinelle, with minor manual fixes
made on top.

This is the hack for input interactivity of frontbuffer rendering
(like we do for backbuffer at intelDRI2Flush()) by waiting for the n-2
frame to complete before starting a new one. However, for an
application doing multiple contexts or regular rebinding of a single
context, this would end up lockstepping the CPU to the GPU because
every unbind was considered the end of a frame.
