Kenneth Graunke e32cd5ffbb i965: Rely on hardware contexts for query objects on Gen6+.
Hardware contexts greatly simplify the query object code.  The pipeline
statistics counters get saved and restored with the context, which means
that we don't need to worry about other workloads polluting them.

This means that we can simply write a single pair of values (one at
BeginQuery and one at EndQuery) rather than a series of pairs.  This
also means we don't need to worry about the BO getting full.  We also
don't need to delay BO allocation and starting snapshot until the first
draw.

The generation split here is a little off: technically, Ironlake can also
support hardware contexts.  However, the kernel currently doesn't, and
even if it were to do so someday, we'd need to wait a while before
bumping the kernel requirement to take advantage of it.

v2: Incorporate Paul's feedback.
- Clarify which functions are Gen4/5-only via assertions and comments.
- Change how driver hook initialization happens.
- Update comments.
- Squash a bug fix from a later commit here where it belongs.

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.
