Nemanja Ivanovic 6354d23555 [Power9] Exploit D-Form VSX Scalar memory ops that target full VSX register set
This patch corresponds to review:

The newly added VSX D-Form (register + offset) memory ops target the upper half
of the VSX register set. The existing ones target the lower half. In order to
unify these and have the ability to target all the VSX registers using D-Form
operations, this patch defines Pseudo-ops for the loads/stores which are
expanded post-RA. The expansion then choses the correct opcode based on the
register that was allocated for the operation.

Ehsan Amiri a538b0f023 Adding -verify-machineinstrs option to PowerPC tests
Currently we have a number of tests that fail with -verify-machineinstrs.
To detect this cases earlier we add the option to the testcases with the
exception of tests that will currently fail with this option. PR 27456 keeps
track of this failures.

No code review, as discussed with Hal Finkel.

Nemanja Ivanovic 1c39ca6501 Scalar to vector conversions using direct moves
This patch corresponds to review:
http://reviews.llvm.org/D11471

It improves the code generated for converting a scalar to a vector value. With
direct moves from GPRs to VSRs, we no longer require expensive stack operations
for this. Subsequent patches will handle the reverse case and more general
operations between vectors and their scalar elements.

Nemanja Ivanovic f3c94b1e3c Add VSX Scalar loads and stores to the PPC back end
This patch corresponds to review:
http://reviews.llvm.org/D9440

It adds a new register class to the PPC back end to contain single precision
values in VSX registers. Additionally, it adds scalar loads and stores for
VSX registers.
