No double rate 16bit support on RX 6700XT

[PMunkes]

Using the latest release of AMDVLK included in the 22.20 driver for Ubuntu 22.04 only gives single rate performance when testing with vkpeak. AMDGPU-PRO from the same package provides support for packed FP16 support, but not for int16. RADV recently had support for both packed fp16 and int16 merged. Merge Request
Are there plans to provide support for double rate 16 bit instructions in the Open Source driver?

llpc currently runs the scalarizer pass, which helps a lot in reducing register pressure and increasing occupancy but has the side-effect of preventing packed instructions. See this issue for more details and workarounds: GPUOpen-Drivers/llpc#1369
