r600g: track dirty registers better. (v2)
This is a first step to decreasing the CPU usage, by decreasing how much
stuff we pass to the GPU and hence to the kernel CS checker.
This adds a check to see if the values we need to write are actually dirty,
and avoids writing if they are. However certain register need to always
be written so we add a new flag to say which ones should be always written
if used. (Note this could probably be done cleaner with a larger refactoring,
since I think the CONST_BUFFER_SIZE_PS/VS and CONST_CACHE_PS/VS might
be better off as a special state).
It also moves the need_bo to be a flags on the register now.
With this, a frame of gears goes from emitting 3k dwords to emitting 2k dwords,
and I'm sure it could get a lot smaller.
v2: fix some evergreen dirty bits.
Original patch from: Bas Nieuwenhuizen, I NIHed nearly the same thing
before seeing his patch on the list, oops.
