I think what I said (though "with" -> "as" does sound better). To
elaborate: some things like writemask, swizzle, vstride, width,
hstride are only meaningful when the register is not an immediate --
that is, they're mutually exclusive.

So, use the same storage as the immediate to store those fields.
