[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 31/95] i965/vec4: implement hardware workaround for align16 double to float conversion

[Iago Toral Quiroga]

>From the BDW PRM, Workarounds chapter:

   "DF->f format conversion for Align16 has wrong emask calculation when
    source is immediate."

So detect the case and move the immediate source to a VGRF before we attempt
the conversion.

Notice that Broadwell and later are strictly scalar at the moment though, so
this is not really necessary.
