I don't have my EG card available at the moment, but I *think* that
passed.  All I've got available at the moment is my pitcairn (si). For
me on pitcairn, I get failures in
piglit/generated_tests/cl/builtin/math/builtin-float-nextafter-1.0.generated.cl
for only the float16 type (about half of them pass, half don't).

What happens if you test with [1] and [2] applied (enable vstore
optimizations and then add float to those optimizations), but without
the clcmacro refactoring patch [3]?
