PATCH: R600/SI: Experimental assembler / inline assembly support

[Marek Olšák]

Hi Tom,

So will I be able to use inline assembly in Mesa? Can I write whole
shaders in asm? Will the compilation be faster with asm-only shaders?

This would be useful for a fetch shader, which should be a separate
binary invoked by a vertex shader (e.g. by using a jump instruction,
or more easily, by appending a vertex shader binary after a fetch
shader binary).
