The last URB write has to be the last instruction, since it's actually the
URB write that ends the thread ("eot" stands for "end of thread").
For GL 3.2 we're going to need to refactor this function to use a loop,
since GL 3.2 doubles the number of varying components permitted for VS->GS
linkage (so we'll need up to 4 URB writes instead of 2). I think once that
change is made the function is going to be a lot easier to follow. Maybe I
should just do that refactor now?
