OK, but this won't give you that info at bind time. gl_image_unit has
an "access" flag that we totally ignored for pipe_image_view which we
could throw in. Would that be helpful as well? I guess at that point,
having those two match up in the shader would be beneficial since
presumably it would mean totally different shader code generated
depending on the bind flag.
