David Blaikie a79ac14fa6 [opaque pointer type] Add textual IR support for explicit type parameter to load instruction
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))

Hal Finkel ed844c4ad1 [PowerPC] Reuse a load operand in int->fp conversions
int->fp conversions on PPC must be done through memory loads and stores. On a
modern core, this process begins by storing the int value to memory, then
loading it using a (sometimes special) FP load instruction. Unfortunately, we
would do this even when the value to be converted was itself a load, and we can
just use that same memory location instead of copying it to another first.
There is a slight complication when handling int_to_fp(fp_to_int(x)) pairs,
because the fp_to_int operand has not been lowered when the int_to_fp is being
lowered. We handle this specially by invoking fp_to_int's lowering logic
(partially) and getting the necessary memory location (some trivial refactoring
was done to make this possible).

This is all somewhat ugly, and it would be nice if some later CodeGen stage
could just clean this stuff up, but because doing so would involve modifying
target-specific nodes (or instructions), it is not immediately clear how that
would work.

Also, remove a related entry from the README.txt for which we now generate
reasonable code.
