We've had several bugs(PR32256, PR32241) recently that resulted from usages of AH/BH/CH/DH either before or after a copy to/from a mask register.
This ultimately occurs because we create COPY_TO_REGCLASS with VK1 and GR8. Then in CopyToFromAsymmetricReg in X86InstrInfo we find a 32-bit super register for the GR8 to emit the KMOV with. But as these tests are demonstrating, its possible for the GR8 register to be a high register and we end up doing an accidental extra or insert from bits 15:8.
I think the best way forward is to stop making copies directly between mask registers and GR8/GR16. Instead I think we should restrict to only copies between mask registers and GR32/GR64 and use EXTRACT_SUBREG/INSERT_SUBREG to handle the conversion from GR32 to GR16/8 or vice versa.
Unfortunately, this complicates fastisel a bit more now to create the subreg extracts where we used to create GR8 copies. We can probably make a helper function to bring down the repitition.
This does result in KMOVD being used for copies when BWI is available because we don't know the original mask register size. This caused a lot of deltas on tests because we have to split the checks for KMOVD vs KMOVW based on BWI.

There are cases of AVX-512 instructions that have two possible encodings. This is the case with instructions that use vector registers with low indexes of 0 - 15 and do not use the zmm registers or the mask k registers.
The EVEX encoding prefix requires 4 bytes whereas the VEX prefix can take only up to 3 bytes. Consequently, using the VEX encoding for these instructions results in a code size reduction of ~2 bytes even though it is compiled with the AVX-512 features enabled.

Summary:
The index and one of the table operands can be swapped by changing the opcode to the other version. Neither of these operands are the one that can load from memory so this can't be used to increase memory folding opportunities.
We need to handle the unmasked forms and the kz forms. Since the load operand isn't being commuted we can commute the load and broadcast instructions too.
