Thanks for doing this. Some comments inline, but overall looks good!

Run the shader-db on just the program that had the problem here, add
it to your before-results, and rerun report.py.

The argument order to this function seems strange to me. Could we make it this?

   vectorize_mov(block, inst, imm, imm_inst, inst_count, writemask)
