intel: Add an interface for removing relocs after they're added.
This lets us replace the current inner drawing loop of mesa: for each prim { compute bo list if (check_aperture_space(bo list)) { batch_flush() compute bo list if (check_aperture_space(bo list)) { whine_about_batch_size() fall back; } } upload state to BOs } with this inner loop: for each prim { retry: upload state to BOs if (check_aperture_space(batch)) { if (!retried) { reset_to_last_prim() batch_flush() } else { if (batch_flush()) whine_about_batch_size() goto retry; } } } This avoids having to implement code to walk over certain sets of GL state twice (the "compute bo list" step). While it's not a performance improvement, it's a significant win in code complexity: about -200 lines, and one place to make mistakes related to aperture space instead of N places to forget some BO we should have included. Note how if we do a reset in the new loop , we immediately flush. We don't need to check aperture space -- the kernel will tell us if we actually ran out of aperture or not. And if we did run out of aperture, it's because either the single prim was too big, or because check_aperture was wrong at the point of setting up the last primitive.
