This changes the SelectionDAG scheduling preference to source
order. Soon, the SelectionDAG scheduler can be bypassed saving
a nice chunk of compile time.
Performance differences that result from this change are often a
consequence of register coalescing. The register coalescer is far from
perfect. Bugs can be filed for deficiencies.
On x86 SandyBridge/Haswell, the source order schedule is often
preserved, particularly for small blocks.
Register pressure is generally improved over the SD scheduler's ILP
mode. However, we are still able to handle large blocks that require
latency hiding, unlike the SD scheduler's BURR mode. MI scheduler also
attempts to discover the critical path in single-block loops and
adjust heuristics accordingly.
The MI scheduler relies on the new machine model. This is currently
unimplemented for AVX, so we may not be generating the best code yet.
Unit tests are updated so they don't depend on SD scheduling heuristics.

when run on an Intel Atom processor. The failures have arisen due
to changes elsewhere in the trunk over the past 8 weeks or so.
These failures were not detected by the Atom buildbot because the
CPU on the Atom buildbot was not being detected as an Atom CPU.
The fix for this problem is in Host.cpp and X86Subtarget.cpp, but
shall remain commented out until the current set of Atom test failures
are fixed.
