Extract Bitfield.

Yes, I think it's the same shader... it's doing a texelFetch() and
then grabbing bytes 0, 1, 2 off that.
The generated shader code after the second patch does:
/*05d0*/ TLD.LL.P R0, R24, 0x0, 2D, 0x3;
/*05d8*/ TEXDEPBAR 0x0;
/*05e0*/ I2F.F32.U8 R2, R1;
/*05e8*/ FFMA.FTZ R2, R2, R15, R19;
/*05f0*/ I2F.F32.U8 R8, R1.B1;
/*05f8*/ FFMA.FTZ R8, R8, R15, R19;
/*0608*/ I2F.F32.U8 R1, R1.B2;
I'll let you guess what these things mean. TLD = texelfetch :)
