This way OpenCL devices can also benefit from a smaller memory footprint, when using e.g. bumpmaps (greyscale, 1 channel).
Additional target for my GSoC 2016.
Now we have the 4 component ones first (float4, byte4, half4) followed by the 1 component ones (float, byte, half).
Makes code a bit more consistent and also reduces code a bit when enabling half support on GPU in next commit.
This also exposed a typo in half CPU images for 3D textures, which wasn't used yet, but good to have that one fixed anyway.
Using unit tests is a wrong way to control static behavior of the
application. They should only be used for checking dynamic behavior,
all the rest is easily controllable at compile time.
Doing tests at ocmpile time are actually more robust approach since
we don't have strict policy of runnign unit tests before accepting
any change.
Proper alignment control is coming shortly.
This reverts commit 7c3a06c349.
Since the optimal values depend on the device used, this option doesn't make much sense in the XML.
Therefore, it's now specified via the command line, just like the device itself.
Another issue with the modified particle motion blur fix: since
pre and post are used as validity markers, they must be set even
if there is no actual motion, like the original bool flags were.
Otherwise an object starting to move or stopping is interpreted
as having invalid blur data and hidden.
Displacement is now a per material setting, which means old files will have to
be updated if they had used displacement. Cool side effect of this change is
material previews now show displacement.

Enables Catmull-Clark subdivision meshes with support for creases and attribute
subdivision. Still waiting on OpenSubdiv to fully support face varying
interpolation for subdividing uv coordinates tho. Also there may be some
inconsistencies with Blender's subdivision which will be resolved at a
later time.
Code for reading patch tables and creating patch maps is borrowed
from OpenSubdiv.

Adds a descriptor for attributes that can easily be passed around and extended
to contain more data. Will be used for attributes on subdivision meshes.

Currently cycles cannot correctly render motion blur for objects that appear or
disappear during the shutter window. Until that can be fixed properly, it may be
better to hide such particles rather than let them render as if they were
stationary for half of the frame.

It is possible that compilation will fail without giving anything in the
log buffer. For this cases giving a tip about error code will be really
handy.
Patch by @Ilia, thanks!
This changes actually lead to 2x slowdown. It's getting a bit annoying
because those are the changes to make pre-maxwell cards render with the
same speed.
As a result of other folding simplifications it may happen that
two type conversion nodes end up directly connected. In some
cases it may be possible to then remove both. A realistic case
might be an optimized out Mix RGB node used to blend vectors.
It seems it's safe to optimize when B is a float3 type
(color, vector), and A is float3 or float.

This way we can easily switch between toolkits without worrying
whether some kernel was compiled with old or new CUDA toolkit.
It's also now possible to switch machine architecture and have
proper cached kernel detected. Not as if it happens every day,
but i did such a bitness switch back in the days :)
Code coverage of different combinations of secondary conditions
is obviously not complete because there are so many of them, but
all main rules should be there.
The reason for CORRECT vs INVALID is that both words have the same
number of characters so calls line up, but look quite different.

All the changes are mainly giving explicit tips on inlining functions,
so they match how inlining worked with previous toolkit.
This make kernel compiled by CUDA 8 render in average with same speed
as previous kernels. Some scenes are somewhat faster, some of them are
somewhat slower. But slowdown is within 1% so far.
On a positive side it allows us to enable newer generation cards on
buildbots (so GTX 10x0 will be officially supported soon).
