Alyssa Rosenzweig ac2964dfbd nir: Be smarter fusing ffma
If there is a single use of fmul, and that single use is fadd, it makes
sense to fuse ffma, as we already do. However, if there are multiple
uses, fusing may impede code gen. Consider the source fragment:

   a = fmul(x, y)
   b = fadd(a, z)
   c = fmin(a, t)
   d = fmax(b, c)

The fmul has two uses. The current ffma fusing is greedy and will
produce the following "optimized" code.

   a = fmul(x, y)
   b = ffma(x, y, z)
   c = fmin(a, t)
   d = fmax(b, c)

Actually, this code is worse! Instead of 1 fmul + 1 fadd, we now have 1
fmul + 1 ffma. In effect, two multiplies (and a fused add) instead of
one multiply and an add. Depending on the ISA, that could impede
scheduling or increase code size. It can also increase register
pressure, extending the live range.

It's tempting to gate on is_used_once, but that would hurt in cases
where we really do fuse everything, e.g.:

   a = fmul(x, y)
   b = fadd(a, z)
   c = fadd(a, t)

For ISAs that fuse ffma, we expect that 2 ffma is faster than 1 fmul + 2
fadd. So what we really want is to fuse ffma iff the fmul will get
deleted. That occurs iff all uses of the fmul are fadd and will
themselves get fused to ffma, leaving fmul to get dead code eliminated.
That's easy to implement with a new NIR search helper, checking that all
uses are fadd.

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

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

.. code-block:: sh

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


Support
-------
