Timur Kristóf e97f0463a8 ac/nir: Implement NGG deferred attribute culling in NIR.
Culling is traditionally done by the rasterizer, but that
can be a bottleneck when an app creates a large number
of primitives. Eg. a lot of tiny triangles reduce the
rasterziation efficiency.

NGG makes it possible for the shader to check primitives
and delete those that it can prove are not needed.

After this is done, we have to repack the surviving invocations
so they remain compact. This also saves bandwidth, because
some memory loads are only executed by those vertices that
survived the culling.

Source
------

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


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

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

.. code-block:: sh

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


Support
-------

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `OFTC's #dri-devel
<irc://irc.oftc.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.
To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your
question, check out `Who's Who on IRC
