[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 4/6] i965: Copy propagate before doing variable index lowering.

[Kenneth Graunke]

The scalar backend currently doesn't support variable indexing on
temporary arrays, but it does support it on uniform arrays, and
some stages support it for input arrays.  Make sure these are
propagated through before exploding indirects into piles of
if-ladders unnecessarily.

On Broadwell, no instruction count change in shader-db.

total cycles in shared programs: 80675652 -> 80674928 (-0.00%)
cycles in affected programs: 649972 -> 649248 (-0.11%)
helped: 386
HURT: 165

This will help avoid code quality regressions in a future commit.
