232ed89802 i965/fs: Register allocator shoudn't use grf127 for sends dest
Since Gen8+ Intel PRM states that "r127 must not be used for return
address when there is a src and dest overlap in send instruction."

This patch implements this restriction creating new grf127_send_hack_node
at the register allocator. This node has a fixed assignation to grf127.

For vgrf that are used as destination of send messages we create node
interfereces with the grf127_send_hack_node. So the register allocator
will never assign to these vgrf a register that involves grf127.

If dispatch_width > 8 we don't create these interferences to the because
all instructions have node interferences between sources and destination.
That is enough to avoid the r127 restriction.

This fixes CTS tests that raised this issue as they were executed as SIMD8:

v2: Avoid duplicating register classes without grf127. Let's use a node
    with a fixed assignation to grf127 and create interferences to send
    message vgrf destinations. (Eric Anholt)
v3: Update reference to CTS VK_KHR_8bit_storage failing tests.

58324389be intel/fs: Take into account amount of data read in spilling cost heuristic.
Until now the spilling cost calculation was neglecting the amount of
data read from the register during the spilling cost calculation.
This caused it to make suboptimal decisions in some cases leading to
higher memory bandwidth usage than necessary.

Improves Unigine Heaven performance by ~4% on BDW, reversing an
unintended FPS regression from my previous commit
147e71242c with n=12 and statistical
significance 5%.  In addition SynMark2 OglCSDof performance is
improved by an additional ~5% on SKL, and a Kerbal Space Program
apitrace around the Moho planet I can provide on request improves by
~20%.

ecc19e12dc intel/fs: Use regs_written() in spilling cost heuristic for improved accuracy.
This is what we use later on to compute the number of registers that
will actually get spilled to memory, so it's more likely to match
reality than the current open-coded approximation.

147e71242c i965/fs: Take into account lower frequency of conditional blocks in spilling cost heuristic.
The individual branches of an if/else/endif construct will be executed
some unknown number of times between 0 and 1 relative to the parent
block.  Use some factor in between as weight while approximating the
cost of spill/fill instructions within a conditional if-else branch.
This favors spilling registers used within conditional branches which
are likely to be executed less frequently than registers used at the
top level.

Improves the framerate of the SynMark2 OglCSDof benchmark by ~1.9x on
my SKL GT4e.  Should have a comparable effect on other platforms.  No
significant regressions.

700bebb958 i965: Move the back-end compiler to src/intel/compiler
Mostly a dummy git mv with a couple of noticable parts:
 - With the earlier header cleanups, nothing in src/intel depends
files from src/mesa/drivers/dri/i965/
 - Both Autoconf and Android builds are addressed. Thanks to Mauro and
Tapani for the fixups in the latter
 - brw_util.[ch] is not really compiler specific, so it's moved to i965.

v2:
 - move brw_eu_defines.h instead of brw_defines.h
 - remove no-longer applicable includes
 - add missing vulkan/ prefix in the Android build (thanks Tapani)

v3:
 - don't list brw_defines.h in src/intel/Makefile.sources (Jason)
 - rebase on top of the oa patches
