I think this is possibly a bad idea, since it's clear LLVM has some pathalogical
behaviour the AMDGPU backend for this shader and we are just papering over it.

A quick dig into LLVM shows horrible misuse of a SmallVector data structure
for what ends up having 2000 entries in it.

I'm not going to out right NAK this, but it would be nice to have it accompanied
by a pointer to an llvm bug against the amdgpu backend for the
pathalogical case.

Dave.
