 first layer, simplifying layout calculations for both software and hardware.
 Although the padding is logically unnecessary, it wastes little space compared
 to the sizes of large mipmapped 3D textures.

+drm-shim (Linux only)
+---------------------
+
+Mesa includes a library that mocks out the DRM UABI used by the Asahi driver
+stack, allowing the Mesa driver to run on non-M1 Linux hardware. This can be
+useful for exercising the compiler. To build, use options:
+
+   -Dgallium-drivers=asahi -Dtools=drm-shim
+
+Then run an OpenGL workload with environment variable:
+
+   LD_PRELOAD=~/mesa/build/src/asahi/drm-shim/libasahi_noop_drm_shim.so
+
+For example to compile a shader with shaderdb and print some statistics along
+with the IR:
+
+   ~/shader-db$ AGX_MESA_DEBUG=shaders,shaderdb ASAHI_MESA_DEBUG=precompile LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=~/lib/dri/ LD_PRELOAD=~/mesa/build/src/asahi/drm-shim/libasahi_noop_drm_shim.so ./run shaders/glmark/1-12.shader_test
+
+The drm-shim implementation for Asahi is located in ``src/asahi/drm-shim``. The
+drm-shim implementation there should be updated as new UABI is added.
