FWIW, the previous shader-db numbers were done without grepping for
vec4. Matt mentioned that he preferred that way. As asked, the numbers
for this email will be vec4-only numbers (so grepping for vec4).

So, the shader-db numbers of IR vs NIR at that reference commit are the
following:
  total instructions in shared programs: 1848027 -> 1648216 (-10.81%)
  instructions in affected programs:     1660279 -> 1460468 (-12.03%)
  helped:                                14668
  HURT:                                  1369

And IR vs NIR numbers cherry-picking the optimization are the following:
  total instructions in shared programs: 1845902 -> 1631459 (-11.62%)
  instructions in affected programs:     1663398 -> 1448955 (-12.89%)
  helped:                                14863
  HURT:                                  1203

FWIW, we need to take into account that this commit is also helping IR.
The shader-db numbers of IR reference vs IR cherry picking are the
following:
  total instructions in shared programs: 1848027 -> 1845902 (-0.11%)
  instructions in affected programs:     195042 -> 192917 (-1.09%)
  helped:                                1033
  HURT:                                  0

And for that reason, probably it is worth to compare IR at the reference
versus NIR results cherry-picking, that are the following:
  total instructions in shared programs: 1848027 -> 1631459 (-11.72%)
  instructions in affected programs:     1672237 -> 1455669 (-12.95%)
  helped:                                14955
  HURT:                                  1194

You are welcome. Thanks for the patch reviewing.
