Apple GPUs support non-linear "GPU-tiled" image layouts. Add modifiers for these layouts. Mesa requires these modifiers to share non-linear buffers across processes, but no other userspace or kernel support is required/expected. These layouts are notably not used for interchange across hardware blocks (e.g. with the display controller). There are other layouts for that but we don't support them either in userspace or kernelspace yet (even downstream), so we don't add modifiers here.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
