+ * in a multisampling pattern, because it ensures that the samples are
+ * relatively uniformly distributed through the pixel.
+ *
+ * There are several solutions to the 8 queens puzzle (see
+ * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight_queens_puzzle). This solution was
+ * chosen because it has a queen close to the center; this should
+ * improve the accuracy of centroid interpolation, since the hardware
+ * implements centroid interpolation by choosing the centermost sample
+ * that overlaps with the primitive being drawn.
+ *
+ * Note: from the Ivy Bridge PRM, Vol2 Part1 p304 (3DSTATE_MULTISAMPLE:
+ * Programming Notes):
+ *
+ * "When programming the sample offsets (for NUMSAMPLES_4 or _8 and
+ * MSRASTMODE_xxx_PATTERN), the order of the samples 0 to 3 (or 7
+ * for 8X) must have monotonically increasing distance from the
+ * pixel center. This is required to get the correct centroid
+ * computation in the device."
