BTW, speaking of AMD documentation on Southern Islands GPUs, these PDFs
might be relevant to the project as well:
http://www.x.org/docs/AMD/si_programming_guide_v2.pdf
http://www.x.org/docs/AMD/SI_3D_registers.pdf
In particular, page 165+ in SI_3D_registers.pdf describes "Shared
Program Registers", which includes things such as "Number of VGPRs,
granularity 4. Range is from 0-63 allocating 4, 8, 12, ... 256" - a
certain 6-bit value at a certain address (memory-mapped register?)
This might answer, negatively, my question on whether we can go beyond
256 VGPRs for a single work-item.
