[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 2/2] intel: Fix SIMD16 unaligned payload GRF reads on Gen4-5.

When the SIMD16 Gen4-5 fragment shader payload contains source depth
(g2-3), destination stencil (g4), and destination depth (g5-6), the
single register of stencil makes the destination depth unaligned.

We were generating this instruction in the RT write payload setup:

   mov(16)   m14<1>F   g5<8,8,1>F   { align1 compr };

which is illegal, instructions with a source region spanning more than
one register need to be aligned to even registers.  This is because the
hardware implicitly does (nr | 1) instead of (nr + 1) when splitting the
compressed instruction into two mov(8)'s.

I believe this would cause the hardware to load g5 twice, replicating
subspan 0-1's destination depth to subspan 2-3.  This showed up as 2x2
artifact blocks in both TIS-100 and Reicast.

Normally, we rely on the register allocator to even-align our virtual
GRFs.  But we don't control the payload, so we need to lower SIMD widths
to make it work.  To fix this, we teach lower_simd_width about the
restriction, and then call it again after lower_load_payload (which is
what generates the offending MOV).

Fixes: 8aee87fe4cce0a883867df3546db0e0a36908086 (i965: Use SIMD16 instead of SIMD8 on Gen4 when possible.)
