Iago Toral Quiroga c11e479852 broadcom/compiler: specify maximum thread count in compile strategies
Once we have exhausted compile strategies at 4 threads and we start
enabling lower thread counts, there is no point in starting compiles
with 4 threads for them, we know these will fail, so let's start at
2 in these cases.

This also has another nice implication: if the driver compiles at 4
threads and fails to register allocate, we were allowing it to try
with 2 threads, but this would only retry the register allocation
process and would not really recompile the shader with 2 threads. This
is not optimal, because at 2 threads we have more TMU fifo space for
each thread and we can do more TMU pipelining, so we were missing that
opportunity.

This improves performance in Sponza by ~1.5% and also seems to help
UE4 slightly.

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 `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.
