Tony Jiang 438bf4a66b [PPC] Heuristic to choose between a X-Form VSX ld/st vs a X-Form FP ld/st.
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

Nemanja Ivanovic 6354d23555 [Power9] Exploit D-Form VSX Scalar memory ops that target full VSX register set
This patch corresponds to review:

The newly added VSX D-Form (register + offset) memory ops target the upper half
of the VSX register set. The existing ones target the lower half. In order to
unify these and have the ability to target all the VSX registers using D-Form
operations, this patch defines Pseudo-ops for the loads/stores which are
expanded post-RA. The expansion then choses the correct opcode based on the
register that was allocated for the operation.

Bill Schmidt 048cc97fb1 [PowerPC] Fix invalid lxvdsx optimization (PR25157)
PR25157 identifies a bug where a load plus a vector shuffle is
incorrectly converted into an LXVDSX instruction.  That optimization
is only valid if the load is of a doubleword, and in the noted case,
it was not.  This corrects that problem.

Joint patch with Eric Schweitz, who provided the bugpoint-reduced test
case.
