This patch is ok to me. But the comment confuse me. It only fix register 
allocate for ExtractElement insn, but you example is branch + add case.

Subject: [Beignet] [PATCH] GBE: we should allocate register for ExtractElement 
insn.

We should allocate register when we firstly visit ExtractElement instruction, 
as we may refer the value before we visit that instruction at the emit 
instruction pass.

The case which trigger this corner case is as below:
Clang/llvm may generate some code similar to the following IRs:

... (there is no definition of %7)
  br label 2

label1:
  %10 = add  %7, %6
  ...
  ret

label2:
  %7 = ...
  br label1

The value %7 is assigned after label2 but is referred at label1.
>From the control flow, the IRs is valid. As the reference will be executed 
>after the assignment.
