Append this to the existing target-features attribute on the function.
Some flags ignore existing attributes, and some overwrite them. Move
towards consistently respecting existing attributes if present. Since
target features act as a state machine on their own, append to the
function attribute. The backend default added feature list, function
attributes, and -mattr will all be appended together, and the later
features can individually toggle the earlier settings.
Don't overwrite existing target-cpu attributes.
I've often found the replacement behavior annoying, and this is
inconsistent with how the fast math command line flags interact with
the function attributes.
Does not yet change target-features, since I think that should behave
as a concatenation.
options.
This commit fixes a bug in llc and opt where "-mcpu" and "-mattr" wouldn't
override function attributes "-target-cpu" and "-target-features" in the IR.
