Per the resolution of Khronos GLSL issue 80
(https://github.com/KhronosGroup/GLSL/issues/80). Spec updates have not
landed yet, but I'll get to it soon. :)
The extra hurt shaders on Gen8+ are a handful of shaders that see things like
bcsel(fmin(b - a, a - c) >= 0, x, y)
converted to
bcsel(a >= b && c >= a, x, y)
The former can be generated as a CSEL instruction. If either b - a or a
- c is used elsewhere in the shader, this saves an instruction.
All Haswell+ platforms had similar results. (Ice Lake shown)
