They return a boolean so this is the right type.  Unfortunately,
get_nir_dest has the annoying behavior of giving us a float type by

float but no Q types.

I'd really like to see a clearer explanation about what this fixes.
Something like

"These intrinsics will be used to implement X, Y, Z from $extension,
which support additional types (including 64-bit types). For 64-bit
types get_nir_dest() returns ..., so we need to force the type to D
since it always returns a bool."
