[Mesa-dev] [PATCH] nv50/ir: optimize SUB(a, b) to MOV(a - b)

[Samuel Pitoiset]

This helps shaders in UE4 demos, especially with Elemental
(+1% perf). This optimization reduces spilling usage in one
shader which explains the little gain.

GF100/GK104:

total instructions in shared programs :2838551 -> 2838045 (-0.02%)
total gprs used in shared programs    :396706 -> 396684 (-0.01%)
total local used in shared programs   :34432 -> 34416 (-0.05%)

                local        gpr       inst      bytes
    helped           1          19         112         112
      hurt           0           0           0           0
