Samuel Pitoiset 8fcb4aa0eb radv: compact MRTs to save PS export memory space
If there are holes between color outputs (e.g. a shader exports MRT1,
but not MRT0), we can remove the holes by moving higher MRTs lower. The
hardware will remap the MRTs to their correct locations if we remove
holes in SPI_SHADER_COL_FORMAT but not CB_SHADER_MASK. This is good for
performance because the hardware will allocate less space for color
MRTs.

This also allows to remove even more unused color exports because we no
longer need to force previous targets to be non-zero. Only SotTR seems
affected from our fossils db.

Source
------

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.rst
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use
Meson (`docs/meson.rst <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_):

.. code-block:: sh

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ meson ..
  $ sudo ninja install


Support
-------

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `OFTC's #dri-devel
<irc://irc.oftc.net/dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your
question, check out `Who's Who on IRC
