i965/gen4-5: Enable 16-wide dispatch on shaders with control flow.
This was probably disabled due to a combination of several bugs in the
generator code (fixed earlier in this series) and a misunderstanding
of the hardware spec. The documentation for most control flow
instructions mentions among other restrictions:
"Instruction compression is not allowed."
This however doesn't have any implications on 16 wide not being
supported, because none of the control flow instructions have
multi-register operands (control flow instructions are not compressed
on more recent hardware either, except maybe SNB's IF with inline
compare). In fact Gen4-5 had 16-wide control flow masks and stacks,
and the spec mentions in several places that control flow instructions
push and pop 16 channels worth of data -- Otherwise there doesn't seem
to be any indication that it shouldn't work.
Causes no piglit regressions, and gives the following shader-db
results on ILK:
total instructions in shared programs: 4711384 -> 4711384 (0.00%)
instructions in affected programs: 0 -> 0
