Kenneth Graunke e11ef54a92 i965: Fix the SF Vertex URB Read Length calculation for Sandybridge.
(This commit message was primarily written by Paul Berry, who explained
 what's going on far better than I would have.)

Previous to this patch, we thought that the only restrictions on
3DSTATE_SF's URB read length were (a) it needs to be large enough to
read all the VUE data that the SF needs, and (b) it can't be so large
that it tries to read VUE data that doesn't exist.  Since the VUE map
already tells us how much VUE data exists, we didn't bother worrying
about restriction (a); we just did the easy thing and programmed the
read length to satisfy restriction (b).

However, we didn't notice this erratum in the hardware docs: "[errata]
Corruption/Hang possible if length programmed larger than recommended".
Judging by the context surrounding this erratum, it's pretty clear that
it means "URB read length must be exactly the size necessary to read all
the VUE data that the SF needs, and no larger".  Which means that we
can't program the read length based on restriction (b)--we have to
program it based on restriction (a).

The URB read size needs to precisely match the amount of data that the
SF consumes; it doesn't work to simply base it on the size of the VUE.

Thankfully, the PRM contains the precise formula the hardware expects.

Fixes random UI corruption in Steam's "Big Picture Mode", random terrain
corruption in PlaneShift, and Piglit's fbo-5-varyings test.

Last updated: 23 April 2011


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.


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.
