While our LIFO scheduling mode attempts to optimize for register
pressure, it's often hard for a scheduling algorithm to do better than
the instruction order provided by the shader author. Shader authors
often do perfectly reasonable things like using texture results
immediately after fetching them or constructing texture coordinates
immediately before the texture op. When we throw all the instruction
ordering information away, we loose any help the author may have given
us. By attempting NONE before we fall back to the worst case LIFO mode.
And, yes, I tried this with NONE both before and after LIFO and doing
NONE before LIFO is substantially better, according to shader-db.
