In geometry programs you have 2D arrays, Dimension specifying
the vertex index (nv50 does use this);
at least that's how I interpreted it (left out the swizzles):

MOV OUT[0], IN[a[i] + j][b[k] + n]
i = src->DimIndirect.Index
j = src->Dimension.Index
k = src->Indirect.Index
n = src->Register.Index
a = src->DimIndirect.File
b = src->Indirect.File

VertexID = a[i] + j

If src->Register.Indirect is true, src->Indirect is the addressing
register to be used.

What sampler information ?
The texture target is defined in FullInstruction.Texture.Texture,
is that not sufficient ?
