I am probably missing something here, but why do you need a new register

you just allow LOAD with TGSI_FILE_CONSTANT and achieve the same thing?
Or do you need to know how it's going to be accessed in advance?
With bindless, LOAD can take a CONST I believe [which contains the
value of the bindless id]. I think it's nice to keep those concepts
separate... having CONST sometimes mean the value and other times mean
the address is a bit weird. This way CONSTBUF[0] is the address of the
0th constbuf.
I'm still not quite convinced. The levels of indirection should clarify
the meaning, shouldn't they?
You get
LOAD dst, CONST[0][0], IMM[0]
when loading from offset IMM[0] of a bindless buffer whose handle is at
the beginning of the buffer CONST[0].
You get
LOAD dst, CONST[0], IMM[0]
when loading from offset IMM[0] of non-bindless buffer 0.
Is there ever really a situation where the two could be confused?
