radv on Ubuntu broken in distro packages

It appears that Ubuntu mesa 17.2.2 packages that ship radv, have patches to enable MIR support. These patches actually just break radv instead. I'd seen some people complain that simple apps don't work on radv, and saying radv wasn't ready for use and how could anyone thing of using it and just wondered what they had been smoking as Fedora was working fine. Hopefully Canonical can sort that out ASAP.

    Do they know? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa has only one bug mentioning radv, and it's not about radv.

virgl - exposes GLES3.1/3.2 and GL4.3

I'd had a bit of a break from adding feature to virgl while I was working on radv, but recently Google and Collabora have started to invest in virgl as a solution. A number of developers from both companies have joined the project.

This meant trying to get virgl to pass their dEQP suite and adding support for newer GL/GLES feature levels. They also have a goal for the renderer to run on a host GLES implementation whereas it currently only ran on a host GL.

Over the past few months I've worked with the group to add support for all the necessary features needed for guest GLES3.1 support (for them) and GL4.3 (for me).

The feature list was roughly:
tessellation shaders
fp64 support
ARB_gpu_shader5 support
Shader buffer objects
Shader image objects
Compute shaders
Copy Image
Texture views

With this list implemented we achieved GL4.3 and GLES3.1.

However Marek@AMD did some work on exposing ASTC for gallium drivers,
and with some extra work on EXT_shader_framebuffer_fetch, we now ex…
