Normally, yes, except with the caveat that these are expression trees,
so who knows what the computation is or if anything would find it.
Notably, the shader-db stats didn't find any instances where we got more
instructions (even in fs8), so at least i965 wasn't finding any MAD
opportunities.

Yeah, I shied away from that because opt_algebraic has never done that.
