The Old Radeon "R600" Open-Source Gallium3D Driver Now Enables SPIR-V

[illwieckz]

You might be on to something there. SPIR-V ingestion is pretty much needed for rusticl and newer OpenCL versions. Being able to get SPIR-V working in R600 helps rusticl, helps GL, and may also make it easier to get a vulkan driver going someday (if it's feasible on this hardware, and if there's motivation).

Yeah, SPIR-V can help with OpenCL if I'm right.

Also I have heard more than once that the latest generation of R600 hardware, namely TeraScale 3, could do it if someone writes a vulkan driver for them… So this would be for Cayman/Antilles chips from R900 Nothern Islands lines: Radeon HD69XX (they're from 2010/2011).
