Jason Ekstrand 79fb0d27f3 anv: Implement SSBOs bindings with GPU addresses in the descriptor BO
This commit adds a new way for ANV to do SSBO bindings by just passing a
GPU address in through the descriptor buffer and using the A64 messages
to access the GPU address directly.  This means that our variable
pointers are now "real" pointers instead of a vec2(BTI, offset) pair.
This carries a few of advantages:

 1. It lets us support a virtually unbounded number of SSBO bindings.

 2. It lets us implement VK_KHR_shader_atomic_int64 which we couldn't
    implement before because those atomic messages are only available
    in the bindless A64 form.

 3. It's way better than messing around with bindless handles for SSBOs
    which is the only other option for VK_EXT_descriptor_indexing.

 4. It's more future looking, maybe?  At the least, this is what NVIDIA
    does (they don't have binding based SSBOs at all).  This doesn't a
    priori mean it's better, it just means it's probably not terrible.

The big disadvantage, of course, is that we have to start doing our own
bounds checking for robustBufferAccess again have to push in dynamic
offsets.

Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.html
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use

.. code-block:: sh

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ meson ..
  $ sudo ninja install


Support

appropriate, you should ask your question on `Freenode's #dri-devel
<irc://chat.freenode.net#dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
