In the past while, I've committed a number of patches in the PowerPC back end
aimed at eliminating comparison instructions. However, this causes some failures
in proprietary source and these issues are not observed in SPEC or any open
source packages I've been able to run.
As a result, I'm pulling the entire series and will refactor it to:
- Have a single entry point for easy control
- Have fine-grained control over which patterns we transform
A side-effect of this is that test cases for these patches (and modified by
them) are XFAIL-ed. This is a temporary measure as it is counter-productive
to remove/modify these test cases and then have to modify them again when
the refactored patch is recommitted.
The failure will be investigated in parallel to the refactoring effort and
the recommit will either have a fix for it or will leave this transformation
off by default until the problem is resolved.

As mentioned in https://reviews.llvm.org/D33718, this simply adds another
pattern to the compare elimination sequence and is committed without a
differential revision.
