This patch is intended to solve:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28044
By changing the definition of X86ISD::CMPP to use float types, we allow it to be created
and pass legalization for an SSE1-only target where v4i32 is not legal.
The motivational trail for this change includes:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=28001
and eventually makes this trigger:

Ie, after this step, we should be free to have Clang generate FP compare IR instead of x86
intrinsics for SSE C packed compare intrinsics. (We can auto-upgrade and remove the LLVM
sse.cmp intrinsics as a follow-up step.) Once we're generating vector IR instead of x86
intrinsics, a big pile of generic optimizations can trigger.

Update the entire regression test suite for the new shuffles. Remove
most of the old testing which was devoted to the old shuffle lowering
path and is no longer relevant really. Also remove a few other random
tests that only really exercised shuffles and only incidently or without
any interesting aspects to them.
Benchmarking that I have done shows a few small regressions with this on
LNT, zero measurable regressions on real, large applications, and for
several benchmarks where the loop vectorizer fires in the hot path it
shows 5% to 40% improvements for SSE2 and SSE3 code running on Sandy
Bridge machines. Running on AMD machines shows even more dramatic
improvements.
When using newer ISA vector extensions the gains are much more modest,
but the code is still better on the whole. There are a few regressions
being tracked (PR21137, PR21138, PR21139) but by and large this is
expected to be a win for x86 generated code performance.
It is also more correct than the code it replaces. I have fuzz tested
this extensively with ISA extensions up through AVX2 and found no
crashes or miscompiles (yet...). The old lowering had a few miscompiles
and crashers after a somewhat smaller amount of fuzz testing.
There is one significant area where the new code path lags behind and
that is in AVX-512 support. However, there was *extremely little*
support for that already and so this isn't a significant step backwards
and the new framework will probably make it easier to implement lowering
that uses the full power of AVX-512's table-based shuffle+blend (IMO).
Many thanks to Quentin, Andrea, Robert, and others for benchmarking
assistance. Thanks to Adam and others for help with AVX-512. Thanks to
Hal, Eric, and *many* others for answering my incessant questions about
how the backend actually works. =]
I will leave the old code path in the tree until the 3 PRs above are at
least resolved to folks' satisfaction. Then I will rip it (and 1000s of
lines of code) out. =] I don't expect this flag to stay around for very
long. It may not survive next week.

be split and the result type widened.
When the condition of a vselect has to be split it makes no sense widening the
vselect and thereby widening the condition. We end up in an endless loop of
widening (vselect result type) and splitting (condition mask type) doing this.
Instead, split both the condition and the vselect and widen the result.
I ran this over the test suite with i686 and mattr=+sse and saw no regressions.
Fixes PR18036.

This was done with the following sed invocation to catch label lines demarking function boundaries:
sed -i '' "s/^;\( *\)\([A-Z0-9_]*\):\( *\)test\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3test\4:\5/g" test/CodeGen/*/*.ll
which was written conservatively to avoid false positives rather than false negatives. I scanned through all the changes and everything looks correct.

when the top elements of a vector are undefined. This happens all
the time for X86-64 ABI stuff because only the low 2 elements of
a 4 element vector are defined. For example, on:
_Complex float f32(_Complex float A, _Complex float B) {
return A+B;
}
We used to produce (with SSE2, SSE4.1+ uses insertps):
_f32: ## @f32
movdqa %xmm0, %xmm2
addss %xmm1, %xmm2
pshufd $16, %xmm2, %xmm2
pshufd $1, %xmm1, %xmm1
pshufd $1, %xmm0, %xmm0
addss %xmm1, %xmm0
pshufd $16, %xmm0, %xmm1
movdqa %xmm2, %xmm0
unpcklps %xmm1, %xmm0
ret
We now produce:
_f32: ## @f32
movdqa %xmm0, %xmm2
addss %xmm1, %xmm2
pshufd $1, %xmm1, %xmm1
pshufd $1, %xmm0, %xmm3
addss %xmm1, %xmm3
movaps %xmm2, %xmm0
unpcklps %xmm3, %xmm0
ret
