+ alignment for pipe_sampler_view::u.buf.first_element, in bytes.
+ If a driver does not support first/last_element, it should return 0.
+* ``PIPE_CAP_TGSI_TEXCOORD``: This CAP describes a hw limitation.
+ If true, the hardware cannot replace arbitrary shader inputs with sprite
+ coordinates and hence the inputs that are desired to be replaceable must
+ be declared with TGSI_SEMANTIC_TEXCOORD instead of TGSI_SEMANTIC_GENERIC.
+ The rasterizer's sprite_coord_enable state therefore also applies to the
+ TEXCOORD semantic.
+ Also, TGSI_SEMANTIC_PCOORD becomes available, which labels a fragment shader
+ input that will always be replaced with sprite coordinates.
