[Mesa-dev] Removing unused opcodes (TGSI, Mesa IR)

[Ilia Mirkin]

As long as we have NAND, pretty much anything can be lowered to
that... I am, of course, not advocating keeping around every insane
instruction, but it does seem a bit arbitrary as to which ones we have
and which ones we don't... I am personally guilty of adding a bunch,
and it was never clear to me how much should be left to the backend
optimizer to un-lower and how much should be done as separate
instructions.

My take was that as long there was a state tracker providing it as
input, it made sense to keep the instruction. But perhaps there's a
different policy that'd work better.

Cheers,
