Eric Anholt 185b5a54c9 i965: Avoid flushing the batch for every blorp op.
This brings over the batch-wrap-prevention and aperture space checking
code from the normal brw_draw.c path, so that we don't need to flush the
batch every time.

There's a risk here if the intel_emit_post_sync_nonzero_flush() call isn't
high enough up in the state emit sequences -- before, we implicitly had
one at the batch flush before any state was emitted, so Mesa's workaround
emits didn't really matter.  Since the SNB fixes by Ken, I didn't see any
regressions after 3 piglit runs.

Improves cairo-gl performance by 13.7733% +/- 1.74876% (n=30/32)
Improves minecraft apitrace performance by 1.03183% +/- 0.482297% (n=90).
Reduces low-resolution GLB 2.7 performance by 1.17553% +/- 0.432263% (n=88)
Reduces Lightsmark performance by 3.70246% +/- 0.322432% (n=126)
No statistically significant performance difference on unigine tropics
(n=10)
No statistically significant performance difference on openarena (n=755)

The two apps that are hurt happen to include stalls on busy buffer
objects, so I think this is an effect of missing out on an opportune
flush.

Last updated: 21 June 2013


Quick Start
----- -----

Windows drivers are build with SCons.  Makefiles or Visual Studio projects are
no longer shipped or supported.

Run

  scons osmesa mesagdi

to build classic mesa Windows GDI drivers; or

  scons libgl-gdi

to build gallium based GDI driver.

This will work both with MSVS or Mingw.


Windows Drivers
------- -------

At this time, only the gallium GDI driver is known to work.

Source code also exists in the tree for other drivers in
src/mesa/drivers/windows, but the status of this code is unknown.

Recipe
------

Building on windows requires several open-source packages. These are
steps that work as of this writing.

1) install python 2.7
2) install scons (latest)
3) install mingw, flex, and bison
4) install libxml2 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get libxml2-python-2.9.1.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
5) install pywin32 from here: http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs
  get pywin32-218.4.win-amd64-py2.7.exe
6) install git
7) download mesa from git
  see http://www.mesa3d.org/repository.html
8) run scons

General
-------

After building, you can copy the above DLL files to a place in your
PATH such as $SystemRoot/SYSTEM32.  If you don't like putting things
in a system directory, place them in the same directory as the
executable(s).  Be careful about accidentially overwriting files of
the same name in the SYSTEM32 directory.

The DLL files are built so that the external entry points use the
stdcall calling convention.

Static LIB files are not built.  The LIB files that are built with are
the linker import files associated with the DLL files.

The si-glu sources are used to build the GLU libs.  This was done
mainly to get the better tessellator code.

If you have a Windows-related build problem or question, please post
to the mesa-dev or mesa-users list.
