A draw with PA_SC_AA_CONFIG.MSAA_NUM_SAMPLES > 0 whose context never
wrote PA_SC_AA_SAMPLE_LOCS_PIXEL_* (context 0x2fe-0x30d) was rejected
with "missing register in context bank at DWORD 0x2fe", because the
registers were absent from the initial context (PPSA07411 stops on it
after two frames). The MSAA_ENABLE single-sample path read them the
same way.
The sixteen registers now start at 0, both initially and after
CLEAR_STATE. That is the value in libSceAgc's own register defaults
(sceAgcGetRegisterDefaults2, every public table that holds context
registers, the tables the initial context already follows for
PA_SU_VTX_CNTL and PA_SC_CONSERVATIVE_RASTERIZATION_CNTL), in amdgpu's
GFX10 clear-state table (clearstate_gfx10.h, gfx10_SECT_CONTEXT_def_8,
loaded by gfx_v10_0_cp_gfx_start before CLEAR_STATE) and the GC 10.3
register reset value (gc_10_3_0_default.h). RADV, radeonsi and PAL
always write the locations themselves and do not settle the unwritten
value.
0 puts every sample at the pixel center. That is not the standard
pattern for any sample count, so such a draw decodes as custom
locations at the center, as a single-sample scan into a multisampled
target already does.
