[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 07/12] i965/vec4: Don't dead code eliminate instructions writing the flag.

[Matt Turner]

A future patch adds support for removing dead writes to the flag
register. This patch simplifies the logic until then.

total instructions in shared programs: 811813 -> 811869 (0.01%)
instructions in affected programs:     3378 -> 3434 (1.66%)
