/** @file glthread.c
 *
 * Support functions for the glthread feature of Mesa.
 *
 * In multicore systems, many applications end up CPU-bound with about half
 * their time spent inside their rendering thread and half inside Mesa.  To
 * alleviate this, we put a shim layer in Mesa at the GL dispatch level that
 * quickly logs the GL commands to a buffer to be processed by a worker
 * thread.
