tgsi: clarify the semantics of DFRACEXP
The status quo is quite the mess: 1. tgsi_exec will do a per-channel computation, and store the dst[0] result (significand) correctly for each channel. The dst[1] result (exponent) will be written to the first bit set in the writemask. So per-component calculation only works partially. 2. r600 will only do a single computation. It will replicate the exponent but not the significand. 3. The docs pretend that there's per-component calculation, but even get dst[0] and dst[1] confused. 4. Luckily, st_glsl_to_tgsi only ever emits single-component instructions, and kind-of assumes that everything is replicated, generating this for the dvec4 case: DFRACEXP TEMP[0].xy, TEMP[1].x, CONST[0][0].xyxy DFRACEXP TEMP[0].zw, TEMP[1].y, CONST[0][0].zwzw DFRACEXP TEMP[2].xy, TEMP[1].z, CONST[0][1].xyxy DFRACEXP TEMP[2].zw, TEMP[1].w, CONST[0][1].zwzw Settle on the simplest behavior, which is single-component calculation with replication, document it, and adjust tgsi_exec and r600.
