In many cases, fsat, fneg, fabs, ineg, and iabs will get folded into
another instruction as either source or destination modifiers.
Counting them as instructions means that some if-statements won't get
converted to selects. For example,
vec1 32 ssa_25 = flt32 ssa_0, ssa_23.x
/* succs: block_1 block_2 */
if ssa_25 {
block block_1:
/* preds: block_0 */
vec1 32 ssa_26 = fabs ssa_24
vec1 32 ssa_27 = fneg ssa_26
vec1 32 ssa_28 = fabs ssa_20
vec1 32 ssa_29 = fneg ssa_28
vec1 32 ssa_30 = fmul ssa_27, ssa_29
vec1 32 ssa_31 = fsat ssa_30
/* succs: block_3 */
} else {
block block_2:
/* preds: block_0 */
/* succs: block_3 */
}
block block_3:
/* preds: block_1 block_2 */
block_1 isn't really 6 instructions, but it will be counted that way.
Most callers of the peephole_select pass use either 1 or 8. It's very
easy to blow way past either of these limits with things that are really
only one or two actual instructions.
I also tried some fancier things like making sure the fsat was of
another SSA def from the same block, but the simple test was actually
better.
The i965 back-end SEL peephole pass still helps ~700 shaders in
shader-db with this change.
