OpenGL 3.1 requires 4096 vec4s (65536 bytes) per constant buffer and the hardware supports 16 constant buffers. I'm not sure what the "constant registers" are, but they cannot have anything to do with the constant buffer limit, because otherwise we wouldn't be able to meet the requirement for uniform buffer objects.
