Ian Romanick d2056ab993 intel/vec4: Emit constants for some ALU sources as immediate values
In some cases of flow control, the constant propagation is not able to
determine that the source of an instruction must be a constant value.
When we still have NIR SSA values, we can easily determine this.  Emit
the immediate value during code generation to possible avoid spurious
loads of constants into registers.

I wrote this patch to prevent a couple trivial regressions in vec4
shaders caused by "nir/algebraic: Replace i2b used by bcsel or
if-statement with comparison".  The final result was quite a bit better
than that...

No shader-db changes on any Gen8+ platform.

v2: Assert that we never get a negation source modifier on Gen8+.
Suggested by Ken.  This should never happen because we don't normally
use vec4 for Gen8+ (requires and environment variable to force it), and
there's no code to generate these negations.  Still, erring on the side
of caution is better.

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
