i965: Reduce gl_MaxGeometryInputComponents to 64.
Although in principle there is no hardware limitation that prevents
gl_MaxGeometryInputComponents from being set to 128 on Gen7, we have
the following limitations in the vec4 compiler back end:
- Registers assigned to geometry shader inputs can't be spilled or
later re-used for any other purpose.
- The last 16 registers are set aside for the "MRF hack", meaning they
can only be used to send messages, and not for general purpose
computation.
- Up to 32 registers may be reserved for push constants, even if there
is sufficient register pressure to make this impractical.
A shader using 128 geometry input components, and having an input type
of triangles_adjacency, would use up:
- 1 register for r0 (which holds URB handles and various pieces of
control information).
- 1 register for gl_PrimitiveID.
- 102 registers for geometry shader inputs (17 registers per input
vertex, assuming DUAL_INSTANCED dispatch mode and allowing for one
register of overhead for gl_Position and gl_PointSize, which are
present in the URB map even if they are not used).
- Up to 32 registers for push constants.
- 16 registers for the "MRF hack".
That's a total of 152 registers, which is well over the 128 registers
the hardware supports.
Fortunately, the GLSL 1.50 spec allows us to reduce
gl_MaxGeometryInputComponents to 64. Doing that frees up 48
registers, brining the total down to 104 registers, leaving 24
registers available to do computation.
