The zEC12 provides the transactional-execution facility. This is exposed
to users via a set of builtin routines on other compilers. This patch
adds clang support to enable those builtins. In partciular, the patch:
- enables the transactional-execution feature by default on zEC12
- allows to override presence of that feature via the -mhtm/-mno-htm options
- adds a predefined macro __HTM__ if the feature is enabled
- adds support for the transactional-execution GCC builtins
- adds Sema checking to verify the __builtin_tabort abort code
- adds the s390intrin.h header file (for GCC compatibility)
- adds s390 sections to the htmintrin.h and htmxlintrin.h header files
Since this is first use of target-specific intrinsics on the platform,
the patch creates the include/clang/Basic/BuiltinsSystemZ.def file and
hooks it up in TargetBuiltins.h and lib/Basic/Targets.cpp.
An associated LLVM patch adds the required LLVM IR intrinsics.
For reference, the transactional-execution instructions are documented
in the z/Architecture Principles of Operation for the zEC12:
http://publibfp.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/download/DZ9ZR009.pdf
The associated builtins are documented in the GCC manual:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/S_002f390-System-z-Built-in-Functions.html
The htmxlintrin.h intrinsics provided for compatibility with the IBM XL
compiler are documented in the "z/OS XL C/C++ Programming Guide".

This patch adds Hardware Transaction Memory (HTM) support supported by ISA 2.07
(POWER8). The intrinsic support is based on GCC one [1], with both 'PowerPC HTM
Low Level Built-in Functions' and 'PowerPC HTM High Level Inline Functions'
implemented.
Along with builtins a new driver switch is added to enable/disable HTM
instruction support (-mhtm) and a header with common definitions (mostly to
parse the TFHAR register value). The HTM switch also sets a preprocessor builtin
HTM.
The HTM usage requires a recently newer kernel with PPC HTM enabled. Tested on
powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
This is send along a llvm patch to enabled the builtins and option switch.
