v2: Fix silly bug in logic. s/||/&&/
All but one of the affected shaders is in an Unreal4 demo. The other is
in Tomb Raider. All of the cases that Ian investigated appear to be
sequences like the following
if (int(uint(some_float)) < 0) /* other relations too */
...
At least in Tomb Raider, it's not obvious that this sequence came from
the original shader.
In some of the Unreal demos, the shader contains code like
if (int(uint(textureLod(...))) > 0)
...
which explicitly generates the offending sequence.
All Gen6+ platforms had similar results (Skylake shown):

Inconclusive result (value mean confidence interval includes 0).
No changes on Iron Lake or GM45.
