+    nvc0/exa: make solid fill actually work
+    
+    Some investigation showed that the code for accelerating solid fill
+    didn't actually work because NVC0EXACheckTexture would fail.
+    
+    Making the check the same as in NV50EXACheckTexture fixes this, and
+    seems to get acceleration for solid fills working right.
