This was present in Eric's initial implementation of the compaction code
for Sandybridge (commit 077d01b6). There is no documentation saying this
is necessary, and removing it causes no regressions in piglit on any
platform.
In fact, the BSpec says
- "[Nop and Illegal] cannot be compressed."; and
- "Currently, there is no need for between-instruction padding."
