Somewhere along the path from OpenGL ES 2.0 to OpenGL ES 3.0 are some
algorithms that are encumbered by patents. These algorithms are enabled with
mesa's --enable-texture-float configure flag. However, if hardware
acceleration is being used and the hardware supports --enable-texture-float,
it means the hardware vendor has paid for the patents.
This patch will add --enable-texture-float for any hardware-backed gallium
mesa driver. In other words, if you are only using the software backup
(swrast) you'll need to enable this flag if you know what you're doing (which
assumes you are complying with the patent). Otherwise we enable this flag so
the software can take full advantage of the hardware.
