This annotation is for an "in" function parameter for which it is only legal
to pass constant expressions. The only known example of this, currently,
is the textureOffset functions.
This should never be used for globals.

Having these as actual integer values makes it difficult to implement
the texture*Offset built-in functions, since the offset is actually a
function parameter (which doesn't have a constant value).
The original rationale was that some hardware needs these offset baked
into the instruction opcode. However, at least i965 should be able to
support non-constant offsets. Others should be able to rely on inlining
and constant propagation.

This helps distinguish between lowering passes, optimization passes, and
other compiler code.
