i965: Avoid branch instructions while in single program flow mode.
There is an errata for Broadwater that threads don't have the instruction/loop mask stacks initialized on thread spawn. In single program flow mode, those stacks are not writable, so we can't initialize them. However, they do get read during ELSE and ENDIF instructions. So, instead, replace branch instructions in single program flow mode with predicated jumps (ADD to the ip register), avoiding use of the more complicated branch instructions that may fail. This is also a minor optimization as no ENDIF equivalent is necessary. Signed-off-by: Keith Packard <keithp@neko.keithp.com>
