which have successfully round-tripped through the combine phase, and use
this to ensure all operands to DAG nodes are visited by the combiner,
even if they are only added during the combine phase.
This is critical to have the combiner reach nodes that are *introduced*
during combining. Previously these would sometimes be visited and
sometimes not be visited based on whether they happened to end up on the
worklist or not. Now we always run them through the combiner.
This fixes quite a few bad codegen test cases lurking in the suite while
also being more principled. Among these, the TLS codegeneration is
particularly exciting for programs that have this in the critical path
like TSan-instrumented binaries (although I think they engineer to use
a different TLS that is faster anyways).
I've tried to check for compile-time regressions here by running llc
over a merged (but not LTO-ed) clang bitcode file and observed at most
a 3% slowdown in llc. Given that this is essentially a worst case (none
of opt or clang are running at this phase) I think this is tolerable.
The actual LTO case should be even less costly, and the cost in normal
compilation should be negligible.
With this combining logic, it is possible to re-legalize as we combine
which is necessary to implement PSHUFB formation on x86 as
a post-legalize DAG combine (my ultimate goal).

The x86_mmx type is used for MMX intrinsics, parameters and
return values where these use MMX registers, and is also
supported in load, store, and bitcast.
Only the above operations generate MMX instructions, and optimizations
do not operate on or produce MMX intrinsics.
MMX-sized vectors <2 x i32> etc. are lowered to XMM or split into
smaller pieces. Optimizations may occur on these forms and the
result casted back to x86_mmx, provided the result feeds into a
previous existing x86_mmx operation.
The point of all this is prevent optimizations from introducing
MMX operations, which is unsafe due to the EMMS problem.
