Assuming SSE2 is available then we can safely commute between these, removing some unnecessary register moves and improving memory folding opportunities.
VEX encoded versions don't benefit so I haven't added support to them.

An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

autogenerated.
Also update existing test cases which appear to be generated by it and
weren't modified (other than addition of the header) by rerunning it.

This is a 1-line patch (with a TODO for AVX because that will affect
even more regression tests) that lets us substitute the appropriate
64-bit store for the float/double/int domains.
It's not clear to me exactly what the difference is between the 0xD6 (MOVPQI2QImr) and
0x7E (MOVSDto64mr) opcodes, but this is apparently the right choice.

This patch attempts to fold the shuffling of 'scalar source' inputs - BUILD_VECTOR and SCALAR_TO_VECTOR nodes - if the shuffle node is the only user. This folds away a lot of unnecessary shuffle nodes, and allows quite a bit of constant folding that was being missed.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

directly into blends of the splats.
These patterns show up even very late in the vector shuffle lowering
where we don't have any chance for DAG combining to kick in, and
blending is a tremendously simpler operation to model. By coercing the
shuffle into a blend we can much more easily match and lower shuffles of
splats.
Immediately with this change there are significantly more blends being
matched in the x86 vector shuffle lowering.

Patch to match cases where shuffle masks can be reduced to bit shifts. Similar to byte shift shuffle matching from D5699.

This patch builds on http://reviews.llvm.org/D5598 to perform byte rotation shuffles (lowerVectorShuffleAsByteRotate) on pre-SSSE3 (palignr) targets - pre-SSSE3 is only enabled on i8 and i16 vector targets where it is a more definite performance gain.
I've also added a separate byte shift shuffle (lowerVectorShuffleAsByteShift) that makes use of the ability of the SLLDQ/SRLDQ instructions to implicitly shift in zero bytes to avoid the need to create a zero register if we had used palignr.

Update the entire regression test suite for the new shuffles. Remove
most of the old testing which was devoted to the old shuffle lowering
path and is no longer relevant really. Also remove a few other random
tests that only really exercised shuffles and only incidently or without
any interesting aspects to them.
Benchmarking that I have done shows a few small regressions with this on
LNT, zero measurable regressions on real, large applications, and for
several benchmarks where the loop vectorizer fires in the hot path it
shows 5% to 40% improvements for SSE2 and SSE3 code running on Sandy
Bridge machines. Running on AMD machines shows even more dramatic
improvements.
When using newer ISA vector extensions the gains are much more modest,
but the code is still better on the whole. There are a few regressions
being tracked (PR21137, PR21138, PR21139) but by and large this is
expected to be a win for x86 generated code performance.
It is also more correct than the code it replaces. I have fuzz tested
this extensively with ISA extensions up through AVX2 and found no
crashes or miscompiles (yet...). The old lowering had a few miscompiles
and crashers after a somewhat smaller amount of fuzz testing.
There is one significant area where the new code path lags behind and
that is in AVX-512 support. However, there was *extremely little*
support for that already and so this isn't a significant step backwards
and the new framework will probably make it easier to implement lowering
that uses the full power of AVX-512's table-based shuffle+blend (IMO).
Many thanks to Quentin, Andrea, Robert, and others for benchmarking
assistance. Thanks to Adam and others for help with AVX-512. Thanks to
Hal, Eric, and *many* others for answering my incessant questions about
how the backend actually works. =]
I will leave the old code path in the tree until the 3 PRs above are at
least resolved to folks' satisfaction. Then I will rip it (and 1000s of
lines of code) out. =] I don't expect this flag to stay around for very
long. It may not survive next week.

Shuffles that only move an element into position 0 of the vector are common in
the output of the loop vectorizer and often generate suboptimal code when SSSE3
is not available. Lower them to vector shifts if possible.
We still prefer palignr over psrldq because it has higher throughput on
sandybridge.

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.
