Couldn't we hack it on (or off?) to get an idea?

It looks like the existing code uses wa_flags &
BRW_ATTRIB_WA_COMPONENT_MASK to calculate a writemask and then does
one multiply, while this will do potentially 3. Is that unavoidable?

The rest of the patch looks good.

It would be nice to figure out a way to get shader-db to give us some numbers.
