Summary:
Multi-dword constant loads generated unnecessary moves from SGPRs into VGPRs,
increasing the code size and VGPR pressure. These moves are now folded away.
Note that this lack of operand folding was not a problem for VMEM loads,
because COPY nodes from VReg_Nnn to VGPR32 are eliminated by the register
coalescer.
Some tests are updated, note that the fsub.ll test explicitly checks that
the move is elided.
With the IR generated by current Mesa, the changes are obviously relatively
minor:
