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.

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.
