This allows us to use the link-optimized shader for determining binding
table layouts and, more importantly, URB layouts. For apps running on
DXVK, this is extremely important as DXVK likes to declare max-size
inputs and outputs and this lets is massively shrink our URB space
requirements.

Looking at shaders by hand, it makes the URB between TCS and TES go from
containing 32 per-vertex varyings per tessellation shader pair to a more
reasonable 8-12. For a 3-vertex patch, that's at least half the URB
space no matter how big the patch section is.

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.
