Using set_shader_resources is preferable. I'd rather it used
pipe_sampler_view, not pipe_surface.

GL has a lot of shader resource types though:
- uniform buffers (load only)
- textures and texture buffers (sample+load only)
- storage buffers (load+store)
- atomic counter buffers (atomic only)
- images (load+store+atomic)

Hardware resource categories on r600:
- textures and read-only buffers (sample+load only)
- constant buffers (load only)
- writable buffers and images (load+store+atomic)

Hardware resource categories on radeonsi:
- none, everything is considered a generic shader resource and
supports load+store+atomic+sample

Thus, it is preferable to use set_shader_resources for all writable
resources and keep the current interfaces for sampler views and
constant buffers intact.
