yeah, I guess makes sense to describe better in code.. but for now base is just the parameter number (ie. first param base=0, second param base=1, etc) For ir3, I end up uploading these as uniforms.. I'm not sure how nv does kernel params offhand. Maybe if they just end up uniforms for everyone we can change clover to use ctx->set_constant_buffer() and use a pass to lower load_param to load_uniform. At least that would solve one awkward thing about the pipe driver and clover agreeing on the layout of pipe_grid_info::input.
