Not an obvious or documented command, your above suggestion was the exact
process I took to figure this out. Git clone. Try to configure the build. Meson
complains that vk_format_x is missing. cd to main mesa folder out of build
folder. `find . -name vk_format_x`. Result: `src/freedreno/vulkan/vk_format_x,
src/amd/vulkan/vk_format_x`. `cp src/amd/vulkan/vk_format_x` because I
recognize amd but not freedreno. Repeat an additional three times with meson
complaining about a different missing file with the name format vk_format* each
time. Didn't repeat again as then it configured and `ninja install`'d
successfully.

There probably is something else going on there but investigating that is far
beyond the scope of my task of documenting how to build vivek's mesa branch
from vivek's *provided* instructions, so the task of figuring out what these
files mean and how they are generated is *squarely* in the scope of vivek's
task.
