I'm skipping 19 for now until we get through the rest. In addition to the comments I left, 11,12,15,16,17 are: Reviewed-by: Ben Widawsky <benjamin.widaw...@intel.com> 11: I'm not quite sold on the needs for a general flags yet, but it doesn't really hurt afaict. 16: I'd just squash this in to 19, but I don't really care much/. _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
