So you're acknowledging that the conversions checked above are illegal
whether the instruction is a MOV or something else.  Where are we
preventing instructions other than MOV with such conversions from being
accepted by the validator?

Why do you think that can only happen through a MOV instruction?  The
hardware spec lists the following as a valid example in the register
region restrictions page:

| add (8) r10.0<2>:hf r11.0<8;8,1>:w r12.0<8;8,1>:w

I still don't understand why you want to implement the same restriction
twice, once for MOV and once for all other mixed-mode instructions.  How
is that more convenient?
