That won't work.  You can't call _mesa_get_min_invocations_per_fragment()
from inside the visitor because it examines GL state.  Inside the visitor
the only safe way to access GL state is through the key.

I think the right thing to do is to add:

if (dispatch_width == 16)
    fail("...");

to whatever parts of the visitor you aren't confident will work properly in
SIMD16.
