Intels Open-Source Vulkan Driver Lands BFloat16 Support In Mesa 25.2

Last month, VK_KHR_shader_bfloat16 introduced support for BF16 types within SPIR-V shaders. Mesa 25,2 recently merge that BFloat16 support for Intels open-source Vulkan Linux driver. The necessary changes to Mesas SPIR-V code, the NIR intermediate representation, and the Intel ANV driver code is now merged for allowing BFloat16 data type use, potentially useful for Vulkan-accelerated AI / machine learning software among other Vulkan compute use cases.
