I had a brief chat with Matt today and I think that this may be going in
the wrong direction.  In particular, I'd like us to eventually (maybe we
can do it now?) generalize the combine_constants pass to more data types;
in particular, integers.  I recently came across a shader where the fact
that we couldn't do combine_constants on integers was causing significant
register pressure problems and spilling.  (The test was doing a bunch of
BFI2/BFE with constant sources.)  It could also be a huge win for 8-bit and
64-bit where we can't put immediates in regular 2-src instructions.

What does this mean for the pass?  I suspect we want a bit size instead of
a type and a simple char[8] for the data and just make it a blob of bits.
We may also want some sort of heuristic so we don't burn constant table
space for things that are only used once or maybe even twice.

Normally, I would say "do it as a fixup" but if we go the direction of
having a float and using _mesa_half_to_float and _mesa_float_to_half, I
suspect it'll be harder to go for the bag-of-bits approach.

Thoughts?
