This re-commits everything that was pulled in r314244. The transformation
is off by default (patch to enable it to follow). The code is refactored
to have a single entry-point and provide fine-grained control over patterns
that it selects. This patch also fixes the bugs in the original code.
Everything that failed with the original patch has been re-tested with this
patch (with the transformation turned on). So the patch to turn this on is
soon to follow.

In the past while, I've committed a number of patches in the PowerPC back end
aimed at eliminating comparison instructions. However, this causes some failures
in proprietary source and these issues are not observed in SPEC or any open
source packages I've been able to run.
As a result, I'm pulling the entire series and will refactor it to:
- Have a single entry point for easy control
- Have fine-grained control over which patterns we transform
A side-effect of this is that test cases for these patches (and modified by
them) are XFAIL-ed. This is a temporary measure as it is counter-productive
to remove/modify these test cases and then have to modify them again when
the refactored patch is recommitted.
The failure will be investigated in parallel to the refactoring effort and
the recommit will either have a fix for it or will leave this transformation
off by default until the problem is resolved.
