From: Ian Romanick <ian.d.roman...@intel.com>

To allow cmod propagation from a MOV in a sequence like:

    and(16)         g31<1>UD       g20<8,8,1>UD   g22<8,8,1>UD
    mov.nz.f0(16)   null<1>F       g31<8,8,1>D

A similar change to the vec4 backend had no effect.

Somewhere between c1ec5820593 and 40fc4b5acd6 (1,094 commits) the
effectiveness of this patch diminished.  Applying this on c1ec5820593
used to help 20 shaders on Gen7+ platforms.  I did not investigate
this further.

The SIMD8 and SIMD16 shaders in two UE4 demos are helped.

Skylake, Ivy Bridge, and Sandy Bridge had similar results. (Skylake shown)

No changes on Iron Lake or GM45.
