Sometimes SM1-3 shaders contain write masks that exceed the
signature element masks. That happens because SM1-3 shaders do not
have a concept of signature and signature masks, and OTOH aren't
always able to express any given write mask.
In VSIR we don't want to deal with I/O register masks exceeding the
corresponding signature element mask or usage mask, because, for
instance, for higher shader models it can complicate dealing with
DCL_INDEX_RANGE. In order to have uniform rules for all shader
models we normalise masks coming from SM1-3 shaders.
We don't do that normalisation when disassembling, in order to
preserve the expected output.
The previous names "not normalised" and "fully normalised" have meanings
which are likely to change with time. OTOH including a description of the
normalisation level in the enumerant seems excessive. Relating
normalisation levels to shader model versions might be a reasonable
compromise.
The alternative to adding the vsir_program->tess_output_primitive and
vsir_program->tess_partitioning fields would be to emit the vsir
DCL_TESSELLATOR_OUTPUT_PRIMITIVE and DCL_TESSELLATOR_PARTITIONING
instructions, like DXIL does, but I think that the preference is to store
these kind of data directly in the vsir_program.
Most I/O registers are already described by the shader signatures.
The registers that are not do not have any property other then
being used by the program or not, so they can be collectively
described with a bitmap.
