    Add to section 5.X entitled  Instruments:

    Each implementation may require its own set of instruments.  An
    enum for the instrument must be passed to Enable to enable
    measurements of that instrument.

    The format of any instrument measurement in the buffer should obey
    some conventions. The first word of the measurement should be the
    enum for the instrument itself. The second word of the measurement
    should be the size in words of the entire measurement so that any
    parser can step over measurements with which it is unfamiliar.

    The IR_INSTRUMENT1_SGIX measurement uses 10 words of the buffer.
    The first (index 0) will be the IR_INSTRUMENT1_SGIX enum itself,
    the second word (index 1) will be 10. The following words are

    COUNTEMPTY (index 2) 
    Increments each time a datum such as a word of screen-space
    geometry, or word of a pixel or texel could have been written to
    next stage of the GL pipeline, but wasn't because there was no
    data to write. This is an indication of back-end starvation.  The
    counter is set to zero as a result of calling StartInstrumentsSGIX
    and set to zero by ReadInstrumentsSGIX after the value has been
    read and written back to the buffer.

    COUNTDRAW (index 3)
    Increments each time a datam such as a word of screen-space
    geometry, or word of a pixel is written to the next stage of the
    geometry pipeline.  The counter is set to zero as a result of
    calling StartInstrumentsSGIX and set to zero by
    ReadInstrumentsSGIX after the value has been read and written back
    to the buffer.

    COUNTLOAD (index 4)
    Increments each time a texture load datum is written to the
    texture memory.  The counter is set to zero as a result of calling
    StartInstrumentsSGIX and set to zero by ReadInstrumentsSGIX after
    the value has been read and written back to the buffer.

    MAILBOX_TIMESTAMP (index 5)
    Holds the value of COUNTALL at the time MAILBOX is written as a
    result of calling StartInstrumentsSGIX or ReadInstrumentsSGIX.

    COUNTALL (index 6)
    Increments every 50mhz clock cycle. No effort to prevent wrapping
    is made.

    PAD (index 7)
    Unused

    MARKER (index 8)
    Holds the value of marker passed to StopInstrumentsSGIX or
    ReadInstrumentsSGIX for this measurement.

    MAILBOX (index 9)
    Holds a value that is used by the implementation. Typically a
    sequence identifier, set after the buffer as been reset, starting
    at 1 with the first measurement and incrementing by 1 for each
    successive measurement.
