The right way to do this, IMHO, is to create a special back-end instruction
opcode to do the work.  That way you can put the call to stride() in
fs_generator, and it will happen after registers have been assigned and
everything has been turned into brw_reg's.  See for example what happens in
FS_OPCODE_SET_SIMD4X2_OFFSET, which does a similar thing except that
instead of changing the stride of the register it changes its width.
