The most expensive part of register allocation is the ra_simplify step
which is a fixed-point algorithm with a worst-case complexity of O(n^2)
which adds the registers to a stack which we then use later to do the
actual allocation. This commit uses bit sets and changes the core loop
of ra_simplify to first walk 32-node chunks and then walk each chunk.
This lets us skip whole 32-node chunks in one go based on bit operations
and compute the minimum q value potentially 32x as fast. Of course, the
algorithm still has the same fundamental O(n^2) run-time but the
constant is now much lower.
In the nasty Aztec Ruins compute shader, this shaves a full four seconds
off the 30s compile time for a release build of mesa. In a debug build
(needed for accurate stack traces), perf says that ra_select takes 20%
of runtime before this patch and only 5-6% of runtime after this patch.
It also makes shader-db runs faster.
