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.

Given certain shuffle-vector masks, LLVM emits splat instructions
which splat the wrong bytes from the source register. The issue is
that the function PPC::isSplatShuffleMask() in PPCISelLowering.cpp
does not ensure that the splat pattern found is requesting bytes that
are aligned on an EltSize boundary. This patch detects this situation
as not a valid splat mask, resulting in a permute being generated
instead of a splat.
Patch and test case by Tyler Kenney, cleaned up a bit by me.
This is a simple bug fix that would be good to incorporate into 3.7.
