Jose Maria Casanova Crespo 9bf0bdf776 v3d: Avoid scheduling an instruction that stalls waiting for SFU retval
If we detect that a scheduling candidate will stall because having a
register source that is the written by the SFU unit in the previous
instruction we reduce its priority so any non stalling operation would
be chosen.

The latency of SFU operations is defined as 2. So they would be scheduled
earlier if other candidates have the same priority.

Finally we won't merge instructions that stall to a previously chosen one.
As the result of the previous one would be waiting for an extra cycle.

Although shader-db result show that instruction are hurt with an increase
of 0.35% the sum of instructions + stalls is reduced a 0.52%. And
the total of sfu-stalls is reduced a 63.51%. It implies also a small
increase in the max-temps metric because of scheduling earlier SFU
operations.

Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


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

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.html
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use
Meson (`docs/meson.html <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 `Freenode's #dri-devel
<irc://chat.freenode.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
