marfrit 902e855d92 mesa-panvk-bifrost: iter13 — implement VK_EXT_transform_feedback for Bifrost
iter12 hit a wall: Brave's ANGLE-Vulkan path requires GLES3, which
requires VK_EXT_transform_feedback, which PanVk-Bifrost did not
implement. This iter implements that extension, unlocking the full
ANGLE-Vulkan-on-Bifrost stack.

The implementation follows Panfrost-Gallium's well-validated XFB lowering
(nir_io_add_intrinsic_xfb_info + pan_nir_lower_xfb) wired into the PanVk
shader pipeline after nir_lower_io. Adds 4 XFB buffer address sysvals
plus per-draw num_vertices to the graphics sysval struct. Buffer state
is tracked on the cmd buffer; per-draw sysval upload populates either
the bound buffer's GPU address or PAN_SHADER_OOB_ADDRESS (memory-sink)
so XFB-capable pipelines used outside Begin/End survive without GPU
fault — the Panfrost-Gallium idiom from gallium/drivers/panfrost/
pan_cmdstream.c:1350.

Verified on PineTab2 (Mali-G52 r1 MC1, RK3566):
- /tmp/panvk-iter13/probe_xfb: 3 vertices captured byte-exact
- /tmp/panvk-iter13/probe_xfb_nodraw: XFB pipeline used without Bind/
  Begin/End survives — DEVICE_LOST regression closed
- Brave 148 with --use-angle=vulkan: WebGL 2.0 (OpenGL ES 3.0) creates
  cleanly, renderer reports
  "ANGLE (ARM, Vulkan 1.2.335 (Mali-G52 r1 MC1), panvk)"
- chrome://gpu graphics feature status: Canvas/Compositing/OpenGL/
  Rasterization/WebGL/WebGL2/WebGPU/Video Decode all hardware accelerated

Phase docs:
- ~/src/panvk-bifrost/phase4_iter13_close.md  (build green)
- ~/src/panvk-bifrost/phase5_iter13_close.md  (review fixes applied)
- ~/src/panvk-bifrost/phase6_iter13_close.md  (Brave integration green)

pkgver bumped 26.0.6.r2 -> 26.0.6.r3; iter13 patch applied via
unified-diff (the 328-line change scope is past sed-of-individual-
lines territory). Sanity checks in prepare() verify the patch landed.

#
# mesa-panvk-bifrost — patched Mesa libvulkan_panfrost.so that exposes
# Bifrost-gen Mali (Mali-G31/G52/G72/G76, PAN_ARCH 6/7) to Chromium-family
# browsers' Vulkan compositor.
#
# Campaign: ~/src/panvk-bifrost/ — iter9 close (technical milestone
# 2026-05-20, operator-confirmed Brave window). Goal close requires
# this package built + published + installable per the
# feedback_package_done_means_installable.md 3-point check.
#
# What it does:
# - Builds Mesa 26.0.6 (matching ohm's stock mesa pkg) with two
# patches against src/panfrost/vulkan/panvk_vX_physical_device.c:
# (1) expose VK_KHR/EXT_robustness2 + nullDescriptor on PAN_ARCH 6/7
# (2) set has_vk1_1/has_vk1_2 to true on Bifrost
# - Installs the patched libvulkan_panfrost.so to /usr/lib/panvk-bifrost/
# (NOT /usr/lib — co-installs alongside stock mesa).
# - Registers a custom ICD JSON at a non-default path so the system
# Vulkan loader only picks up our driver when VK_ICD_FILENAMES is set.
# - Ships /usr/bin/brave-vulkan launcher that wires up env vars + flags.
#
# Co-existence: stock /usr/lib/libvulkan_panfrost.so is untouched. Stock
# /usr/share/vulkan/icd.d/panfrost_icd.json is untouched. Users opt in
# via brave-vulkan (or by setting VK_ICD_FILENAMES manually).
#
# Build target: arch-aarch64 runner via marfrit-packages Gitea Actions.
# Mesa build is slow (~30-60min on Cortex-A55). Build deps installed
# inside the runner via pacman -S in the workflow.
