This patch lets the llvm tools handle the new HVX target features that
are added by frontend (clang). The target-features are of the form
"hvx-length64b" for 64 Byte HVX mode, "hvx-length128b" for 128 Byte mode HVX.
"hvx-double" is an alias to "hvx-length128b" and is soon will be deprecated.
The hvx version target feature is upgated form "+hvx" to "+hvxv{version_number}.
Eg: "+hvxv62"
For the correct HVX code generation, the user must use the following
target features.
For 64B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length64b"
For 128B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length128b"
Clang picks a default length if none is specified. If for some reason,
no hvx-length is specified to llvm, the compilation will bail out.
There is a corresponding clang patch.

The machine scheduler needs to account for available resources
more accurately in order to avoid scheduling an instruction that
forces a new packet to be created.
This occurs in two ways: First, an instruction without an available
resource may have a large priority due to other metrics and be
scheduled when there are other instructions with available resources.
Second, an instruction with a non-zero latency may become available
prematurely. In both these cases, we attempt change the priority
in order to allow a better instruction to be scheduled.

An instruction may have multiple predecessors that are candidates
for using .cur. However, only one of them can use .cur in the
packet. When this case occurs, we need to make sure that only
one of the dependences gets a 0 latency value.

Replace spills to memory with spills to registers, if possible. This
applies mostly to predicate registers (both scalar and vector), since
they are very limited in number. A spill of a predicate register may
happen even if there is a general-purpose register available. In cases
like this the stack spill/reload may be eliminated completely.
This optimization will consider all stack objects, regardless of where
they came from and try to match the live range of the stack slot with
a dead range of a register from an appropriate register class.
