This patch allows AVX blend instructions to handle insertion into the low
element of a 256-bit vector for the appropriate data types.
For f32, instead of:
vblendps $1, %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm1 ## xmm1 = xmm1[0],xmm0[1,2,3]
vblendps $15, %ymm1, %ymm0, %ymm0 ## ymm0 = ymm1[0,1,2,3],ymm0[4,5,6,7]
we get:
vblendps $1, %ymm1, %ymm0, %ymm0 ## ymm0 = ymm1[0],ymm0[1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
For f64, instead of:
vmovsd %xmm1, %xmm0, %xmm1 ## xmm1 = xmm1[0],xmm0[1]
vblendpd $3, %ymm1, %ymm0, %ymm0 ## ymm0 = ymm1[0,1],ymm0[2,3]
we get:
vblendpd $1, %ymm1, %ymm0, %ymm0 ## ymm0 = ymm1[0],ymm0[1,2,3]
For the hardware-neglected integer data types, I left a TODO comment in the
code and added regression tests for a follow-on patch.
