[Mesa-dev] [PATCH v3 14/43] i965/fs: Handle 32-bit to 16-bit conversions

[Jose Maria Casanova Crespo]

From: Alejandro Piñeiro <apinheiro at igalia.com>

Conversions to 16-bit need having aligment between the 16-bit
and 32-bit types. So the conversion operations unpack 16-bit types
to with an stride=2 and then applies a MOV with the conversion.

v2 (Jason Ekstrand):
  - Avoid the general use of stride=2 for 16-bit register types.
