Ian Romanick 0ba9497e66 intel/fs: Improve discard_if code generation
Previously we would blindly emit an sequence like:

        mov(1)          f0.1<1>UW       g1.14<0,1,0>UW
        ...
        cmp.l.f0(16)    g7<1>F          g5<8,8,1>F      0x41700000F  /* 15F */
(+f0.1) cmp.z.f0.1(16)  null<1>D        g7<8,8,1>D      0D

The first move sets the flags based on the initial execution mask.
Later discard sequences contain a predicated compare that can only
remove more SIMD channels.  Often times the only user of the result from
the first compare is the second compare.  Instead, generate a sequence
like

        mov(1)          f0.1<1>UW       g1.14<0,1,0>UW
        ...
        cmp.l.f0(16)    g7<1>F          g5<8,8,1>F      0x41700000F  /* 15F */
(+f0.1) cmp.ge.f0.1(8)  null<1>F        g5<8,8,1>F      0x41700000F  /* 15F */

If the results stored in g7 and f0.0 are not used, the comparison will
be eliminated.  This removes an instruction and potentially reduces
register pressure.

v2: Major re-write of the commit message (including fixing the assembly
code).  Suggested by Matt.

------

This repository lives at https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa.
Other repositories are likely forks, and code found there is not supported.


Build & install
---------------

You can find more information in our documentation (`docs/install.html
<https://mesa3d.org/install.html>`_), but the recommended way is to use
Meson (`docs/meson.html <https://mesa3d.org/meson.html>`_):

.. code-block:: sh

  $ mkdir build
  $ cd build
  $ meson ..
  $ sudo ninja install


Support
-------

Many Mesa devs hang on IRC; if you're not sure which channel is
appropriate, you should ask your question on `Freenode's #dri-devel
<irc://chat.freenode.net#dri-devel>`_, someone will redirect you if
necessary.
Remember that not everyone is in the same timezone as you, so it might
take a while before someone qualified sees your question.
To figure out who you're talking to, or which nick to ping for your
question, check out `Who's Who on IRC
<https://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/WhosWho/>`_.

The next best option is to ask your question in an email to the
mailing lists: `mesa-dev\@lists.freedesktop.org
<https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev>`_


Bug reports
