[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 2/7] i965: Add lossless compression to surface format table

2015-11-11 Thread Ben Widawsky
Background: Prior to Skylake and since Ivybridge Intel hardware has had the ability to use a MCS (Multisample Control Surface) as auxiliary data in "compression" operations on the surface. This reduces memory bandwidth. This hardware was either used for MSAA compression, and fast clear operations.
