[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 11/22 v2] nir: Recognize some more open-coded fmin / fmax

[Ian Romanick]

From: Ian Romanick <ian.d.romanick at intel.com>

This transformation is inexact because section 4.7.1 (Range and
Precision) says:

    Operations and built-in functions that operate on a NaN are not
    required to return a NaN as the result.

The fmin or fmax might not return NaN in cases where the original
expression would be required to return NaN.

v2: Reorder operands and mark as inexact.  The latter suggested by
Jason.
