For this example:
float test (int *arr) {
return arr[2];
}
We currently generate the following code:
li r4, 8
lxsiwax f0, r3, r4
xscvsxdsp f1, f0
With this patch, we will now generate:
addi r3, r3, 8
lxsiwax f0, 0, r3
xscvsxdsp f1, f0

This is the final patch in the series of patches that improves
BUILD_VECTOR handling on PowerPC. This adds a few peephole optimizations
to remove redundant instructions. It also adds a large test case which
encompasses a large set of code patterns that build vectors - this test
case was the motivator for this series of patches.

This patch corresponds to review:
https://reviews.llvm.org/D23155
This patch removes the VSHRC register class (based on D20310) and adds
exploitation of the Power9 sub-word integer loads into VSX registers as well
as vector sign extensions.
The new instructions are useful for a few purposes:
Int to Fp conversions of 1 or 2-byte values loaded from memory
Building vectors of 1 or 2-byte integers with values loaded from memory
Storing individual 1 or 2-byte elements from integer vectors
This patch implements all of those uses.
