intel/nir: Lower 8-bit ops to 16-bit in NIR on Gen11+
Intel hardware supports 8-bit arithmetic but it's tricky and annoying: - Byte operations don't actually execute with a byte type. The execution type for byte operations is actually word. (I don't know if this has implications for the HW implementation. Probably?) - Destinations are required to be strided out to at least the execution type size. This means that B-type operations always have a stride of at least 2. This means wreaks havoc on the back-end in multiple ways. - Thanks to the strided destination, we don't actually save register space by storing things in bytes. We could, in theory, interleave two byte values into a single 2B-strided register but that's both a pain for RA and would lead to piles of false dependencies pre-Gen12 and on Gen12+, we'd need some significant improvements to the SWSB pass. - Also thanks to the strided destination, all byte writes are treated as partial writes by the back-end and we don't know how to copy-prop them. - On Gen11, they added a new hardware restriction that byte types aren't allowed in the 2nd and 3rd sources of instructions. This means that we have to emit B->W conversions all over to resolve things. If we emit said conversions in NIR, instead, there's a chance NIR can get rid of some of them for us. We can get rid of a lot of this pain by just asking NIR to get rid of 8-bit arithmetic for us. It may lead to a few more conversions in some cases but having back-end copy-prop actually work is probably a bigger bonus. There is still a bit we have to handle in the back-end. In particular, basic MOVs and conversions because 8-bit load/store ops still require 8-bit types.
