When switched to the MI scheduler for P9, the hardware is modeled as out of order.
However, inside the MI Scheduler algorithm, we still use the in-order scheduling model
as the MicroOpBufferSize isn't set. The MI scheduler take it as the hw cannot buffer
the op. So, only when all the available instructions issued, the pending instruction
could be scheduled. That is not true for our P9 hw in fact.
This patch is trying to enable the Out-of-Order scheduling model. The buffer size 44 is
picked from the P9 hw spec, and the perf test indicate that, its value won't hurt the cpu2017.
With this patch, there are 3 specs improved over 3% and 1 spec deg over 3%. The detail is as follows:
x264_r: +6.95%
cactuBSSN_r: +6.94%
lbm_r: +4.11%
xz_r: -3.85%
And the GEOMEAN for all the C/C++ spec in spec2017 is about 0.18% improved.

VSX D-form load/store instructions of POWER9 require the offset be a multiple of 16 and a helper`isOffsetMultipleOf` is used to check this.
So far, the helper handles FrameIndex + offset case, but not handling FrameIndex without offset case. Due to this, we are missing opportunities to exploit D-form instructions when accessing an object or array allocated on stack.
For example, x-form store (stxvx) is used for int a[4] = {0}; instead of d-form store (stxv). For larger arrays, D-form instruction is not used when accessing the first 16-byte. Using D-form instructions reduces register pressure as well as instructions.

As outlined in the PR, we didn't ensure that displacements for DQ-Form
instructions are multiples of 16. Since the instruction encoding encodes
a quad-word displacement, a sub-16 byte displacement is meaningless and
ends up being encoded incorrectly.

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.
