The VOP3 instruction encoding generally states that ABS/NEG modifiers in
the instruction encoding are only valid on floating point data types.
This is currently coded in gem5 to mean floating point *instructions*.
For untyped instructions like V_CNDMASK_B32, we don't actually know what
the data type is. We must trust that the compiler did not attempt to
apply these bits to non-FP data types.
This commit simply removes the asserts. The ABS/NEG modifiers are
therefore ignored which is consistent with the ISA documentation.
This is done on the lane manipulation instructions V_CNDMASK_B32,
V_READLINE_B32, and V_WRITELANE_B32 which are typically used to mask off
or move data between registers. Other bitwise instructions (e.g.,
V_OR_B32) keep the asserts as bitwise operations on FP types are
genernally illegal in languages like C++.
