GLSL 1.30 is already on for gen6+.  You can force 1.30 for your purposes

Thanks.  The only intel hardware I have is a GM45 (8086:2a43) which is
seems qualifies at gen4.  I rememeber from my casual reading of the
hardware docs that it seemed 3.3-capable.  Did I miss something?

Issues with GL 3.0 pre-gen6:
- No MSAA.  You'd have to fake it with supersampling.
- Doesn't support filtering on 32-bit float textures.
- transform feedback is different and needs backporting.
- GLSL noperspective/smooth/flat keywords are handled very
   differently in the SF.

Also, support for gl_ClipDistance pre-Gen6 would be a lot of work, as Gen4-5 used a programmable clipping stage (?!?), and we'd basically have to rewrite all the clipping programs. That's one of the major reasons why 1.30 is off pre-Gen6.

I'll go ahead and write the patch, since exposing it without 1.30 doesn't make a lot of sense.
