The IO scalarization pass that we run to help with linking end up
turning some shader I/O such as that for tessellation and geometry
shaders into many scalar URB operations rather than one vector one. To
alleviate this, we now vectorize the I/O once again. This fixes a 10%
performance regression in the GfxBench tessellation test that was caused
by scalarizing.

Cycles was just a lot of churn do to moves being different places. Most
of the pure churn in instructions was +/- one or two instructions in
fragment shaders.
