[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] i965/skl: Remove early platform support

If we go with this patch perhaps it would be good to remove
supports_simd16_3src entirely from brw_device_info and any code that is
referring to it in order to avoid carrying around useless code.
Currently it seems like it would be quite easy to add a new
brw_device_info and forget to add supports_simd16_3src and never notice
that it is redundantly using the fallback.

This would be sort of a pain for me because my Skylake is still one that
needs this workaround but I guess I can just upgrade easily enough.

Regards,
- Neil
