More of a Cycles-specific patch. Currently Cycles relies on Blender to do uniform subdivision so this makes it currently impossible to just tag a mesh as uniform subdivision over adaptive. This will allow the mesh to be instanced.
The code here looks like we could use ->UniformRefine() by what we see from SubdivisionType

Looks very easy to implement, famous last words.
