The VSX versions have the advantage of a full 64-register target whereas the FP
ones have the advantage of lower latency and higher throughput. So what we’re
after is using the faster instructions in low register pressure situations and
using the larger register file in high register pressure situations.
The heuristic chooses between the following 7 pairs of instructions.
PPC::LXSSPX vs PPC::LFSX
PPC::LXSDX vs PPC::LFDX
PPC::STXSSPX vs PPC::STFSX
PPC::STXSDX vs PPC::STFDX
PPC::LXSIWAX vs PPC::LFIWAX
PPC::LXSIWZX vs PPC::LFIWZX
PPC::STXSIWX vs PPC::STFIWX

Add codegen for VSX word extract conversion from signed/unsigned to single/double
precision.
For UINT_TO_FP:
Extract word unsigned and convert to float was implemented in https://reviews.llvm.org/D20239.
Here we will add the missing extract integer and conversion to double. This
utilizes the new P9 instruction xxextractuw to extracting an integer element
when the result will be converted to double thereby saving 2 direct moves
(VSR <-> GPR).
For SINT_TO_FP:
We will implement the following sequence which will also reduce the number of
instructions by saving 2 direct moves.
v4i32->f32:
xxspltw
xvcvsxwsp
xscvspdpn
v4i32->f64:
xxspltw
xvcvsxwdp

There are some VectorShuffle Nodes in SDAG which can be selected to XXSLDWI
instruction, this patch recognizes them and does the selection to improve the
PPC performance.

The new lxvx/stxvx instructions do not require the swaps to line the elements
up correctly. In order to select them over the lxvd2x/lxvw4x instructions which
require swaps, the patterns for the old instruction have a predicate that
ensures they won't be selected on Power9 and newer CPUs.

In the initial implementation of this instruction, I forgot to account for
variable indices. This patch fixes PR30189 and should probably be merged into
3.9.1 (I'll open a bug according to the new instructions).
