Because of the special immediate operand, the constant
bus is already used so SGPRs are never useful.
r263212 changed the name of the immediate operand, which
broke the verifier check for the restriction.

Summary:
This helps prevent load clustering from drastically increasing register
pressure by trying to cluster 4 SMRDx8 loads together. The limit of 16
bytes was chosen, because it seems like that was the original intent
of setting the limit to 4 instructions, but more analysis could show
that a different limit is better.
This fixes yields small decreases in register usage with shader-db, but
also helps avoid a large increase in register usage when lane mask
tracking is enabled in the machine scheduler, because lane mask tracking
enables more opportunities for load clustering.

The two-address instruction pass will convert these back to v_mad_f32
if necessary.
