Andrew Trick 3ca67d6404 New machine model for cortex-a9. Schedule for resources and latency.
Schedule more conservatively to account for stalls on floating point
resources and latency. Use the AGU resource to model latency stalls
since it's shared between FP and LD/ST instructions. This might not be
completely accurate but should work well in practice.

Andrew Trick 880e573d98 MI-Sched: handle latency of in-order operations with the new machine model.
The per-operand machine model allows the target to define "unbuffered"
processor resources. This change is a quick, cheap way to model stalls
caused by the latency of operations that use such resources. This only
applies when the processor's micro-op buffer size is non-zero
(Out-of-Order). We can't precisely model in-order stalls during
out-of-order execution, but this is an easy and effective
heuristic. It benefits cortex-a9 scheduling when using the new
machine model, which is not yet on by default.

MI-Sched for armv7 was evaluated on Swift (and only not enabled because
of a performance bug related to predication). However, we never
evaluated Cortex-A9 performance on MI-Sched in its current form. This
change adds MI-Sched functionality to reach performance goals on
A9. The only remaining change is to allow MI-Sched to run as a PostRA
pass.

I evaluated performance using a set of options to estimate the performance impact once MI sched is default on armv7:
-mcpu=cortex-a9 -disable-post-ra -misched-bench -scheditins=false

For a simple saxpy loop I see a 1.7x speedup. Here are the llvm-testsuite results:
