Connor Abbott wrote a nice explanation of how instance divisors work on Mali.
Let's add it to the driver docs instead of letting it languish in a forgotten
header file.
This is mostly pasted from the existing header in tree, with a few local changes
applied.

XE architecture enables many more metrics, perhaps too many for
the average user. Reduce reported metrics to smaller subset,
known as non-extended metrics, by default. Can re-enable extended
metrics with env var INTEL_EXTENDED_METRICS=1

Implement buffer textures in full generality. There are a few issues here:
* OpenGL requires buffer textures support a minimum size of 65536 elements,
however 1D textures in AGX are (at most) 8192 elements.
* OpenGL 4.0 (and OpenGL ES) require buffer textures to support the "RGB32"
texture formats. These are 3 packed channels of 32-bits each. In general,
non-power-of-two texel sizes are problematic. AGX does not support any such
formats and we rely on the GL frontend to lower to a padded format (RGBX) if
necessary. Such a lowering cannot work for buffer textures, however, so we
need to find a way to implement RGB32 buffer textures.
We solve these issues in the follow way:
* Use 2D texture descriptors for buffer textures, with a large fixed
power-of-two size along one axis. Then large texel indices may be accessed at
a small vec2 texel coordinate, and since the fixed dimension is a
power-of-two, that vector may be recovered by simply shifting and masking.
This effectively avoids size restriction. We do need to clamp texel indices to
the buffer size to avoid faulting on OOB reads, since we may read past the end
of the buffer (if the app binds a non-page-aligned offset into the buffer).
* Use a general purpose memory load for RGB32 buffer textures. Lower the texture
load instruction to a memory load from the buffer and some address arithmetic.
There's no format conversion needed for RGB32, other than maybe filling in a
format-appropriate alpha, so this is straightforward. Again, we need to clamp
the texel index for robustness with OOB reads.
Each of these solutions brings its own problem.
* Using 2D textures instead of 1D requires physically rounding up the buffer
size when packing the descriptor, so we can no longer implement textureSize()
by reading off the texture descriptor like normal.
* We don't know at compile-time whether a given texture load will read from an
RGB32 buffer texture or not, so we need to emit code for both. In Vulkan, we
can't key the shader to this property, either, since it's descriptor set state
and not pipeline state.
And each of these problems in turn brings its own solution:
* The texture descriptor is linear, so the "compression buffer address" field is
ignored by the hardware. We stash the real buffer size there so that
textureSize becomes a load from the texture descriptor like usual, without
requiring a sideband (which would complicate bindless textures).
* If we determine a texture descriptor contains RGB32 data, then it will never
be interpreted by the hardware and hence does not need to be a valid texture
descriptor. So, we extend the hardware's format enum to contain a
software-defined RGB32 format enum. Then, when lowering texture buffer loads,
we either read it as a typed RGB32 memory load or as a texture load depending
on the value of the format field in the texture descriptor.
All of this is accomplished with a big NIR pass generating a pile of strange
looking code. But it should be good enough in practice for this silly feature.

When enabled, on gfx12 plus, we will add the sync nop instruction after
each instruction to make sure that current instruction depends on the
previous instruction explicitly.
This option will help us to get a hint if something is missing or broken
in software scoreboard pass.

The previous lowering was insufficient in two areas:
* No support for indirection. This is required for dynamically indexing into
UBOs, SSBOS, etc in OpenGL ES 3.2
* Only a single table supported. Multiple tables are required to implement
indirect dispatch/draws efficiently, in order to bind the indirect buffer as
uniforms.
The first problem is addressed here by reworking the lowering of
system values to happen in NIR, decoupled from the uniform register assignment
details, such that we can handle 1:n lowerings in a straightforward way.
Namely, indirect sysvals are lowered to indirect memory loads relative to the
base address of the sysval table, where the table address is itself pushed as a
(direct) sysval.
The second problem is addressed in this patch by generalizing to multiple
uniform tables.

Strictly, this extension was already advertised, but it didn't seem nice to mark
it DONE when there was no sync support in the driver whatsoever. Mark it done
now that we do have proper explicit sync (well, in conjunction with the "add
Linux UAPI" patches that are blocked on getting the kernel driver upstream, but
that's needed for *any* of these extensions to be there!)

Now that turnip can support multiple kernel-mode drivers in a single
build, re-work the meson option to have a single list of KMDs, rather
than special options to enable kgsl for turnip or virtio for gallium.
It is temporarily a bit awkward as gallium does not yet support kgsl
and turnip does not yet support virtio. But both of those are planned
or in-progress, so long term a single list is the most sensible option.
TODO freedreno/drm support to build with only virtio support.

The script is broken, and nobody noticed so it wasn't used much.
Meson has had support for printing the options by pointing to the source
dir for a while (not sure the exact version though) so I think we can
just recommend users do that.

The graphics pipeline library implementation in RADV has been
improved considerably lately.
There is still a bit of work for caching individual libraries
and optimized (LTO) pipelines but I think overall it seems good
enough to stop reporting it as experimental and suboptimal.
