I think we're using the wrong terminology here. Instructions don't
have widths; registers do. Instructions have execution sizes (and so
you should use the BRW_EXECUTE_* macros).

I guess I'm having a hard time seeing the whole picture, i.e., what
explicit instruction execsizes buys us. Is there a branch with work
that builds on this that I should look at?
