If your hw doesn't have a saturated add, you can still achieve the result with:

addcarry (32-bit add doing "+1")
subborrow (saturation)

It takes advantage of the fact that increment <= 1. The idea is that
addcarry returns carry=1 if it overflowed, and subborrow subtracts 1
if carry=1. It avoids all 64-bit math and you only need one 32-bit
intermediate register for the division.

Indeed. Do we need other bit sizes for NIR?

Yes.
