[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 0/1] Use a freelist in nir_opt_dce

This patch tries to reduce the number of calls to ralloc in nir_opt_dce.
Especially with scalarized shaders we have a bunch of calls to ralloc
in this pass, hurting us quite bad. See the commit message for details.

The other large caller to ralloc is nir_alu_instr_create, and it would
be nice if we could allocate groups at a time also here. I'm not sure
how we can deal with that though, as it does not allocate the same
number of items each time. I'm also working on a similar approach for
the symbol table, but that is not quite ready yet.
