I wonder how this interacts with this VITE thing Jerome Glisse has in his personal mesa repo:

IIRC it should also provide a better compiler infrastructure for r6xx-based GPUs.

I didn't know VITE.

You should ask Jerome that question. But from the first commit message (see the log):

r600g/nv50/nvc0 common shader compiler

So it looks like some compiler / compiler infrastructure.
