The backend tries to use block operations like MVC, NC, OC and XC for
simple scalar operations. For correctness reasons, it rejects any case
in which the regions might partially overlap. However, for performance
reasons, it should also reject cases where the regions might be equal,
since the instruction might then not use the fast path.
This fixes a performance regression seen in bzip2. We may want to limit
the optimisation even more in future, or even remove it entirely, but I'll
try with this for now.

This update was done with the following bash script:
find test/CodeGen -name "*.ll" | \
while read NAME; do
echo "$NAME"
if ! grep -q "^; *RUN: *llc.*debug" $NAME; then
TEMP=`mktemp -t temp`
cp $NAME $TEMP
sed -n "s/^define [^@]*@\([A-Za-z0-9_]*\)(.*$/\1/p" < $NAME | \
while read FUNC; do
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)\([A-Za-z0-9_-]*\):\( *\)$FUNC: *\$/;\1\2-LABEL:\3$FUNC:/g" $TEMP
done
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)-LABEL-LABEL:/;\1-LABEL:/" $TEMP
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)-NEXT-LABEL:/;\1-NEXT:/" $TEMP
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)-NOT-LABEL:/;\1-NOT:/" $TEMP
sed -i '' "s/;\(.*\)-DAG-LABEL:/;\1-DAG:/" $TEMP
mv $TEMP $NAME
fi
done

Look for patterns of the form (store (load ...), ...) in which the two
locations are known not to partially overlap. (Identical locations are OK.)
These sequences are better implemented by MVC unless either the load or
the store could use RELATIVE LONG instructions.
The testcase showed that we weren't using LHRL and LGHRL for extload16,
only sextloadi16. The patch fixes that too.
