The code in PPCTargetLowering::PerformDAGCombine() that handles
unaligned Altivec vector loads generates a lvsl followed by a vperm.
As we've seen in numerous other places, the vperm instruction has a
big-endian bias, and this is fixed for little endian by complementing
the permute control vector and swapping the input operands. In this
case the lvsl is providing the permute control vector. Rather than
generating an lvsl and a complement operation, it is sufficient to
generate an lvsr instruction instead. Thus for LE code generation we
will generate an lvsr rather than an lvsl, and swap the other input
arguments on the vperm.
The existing test/CodeGen/PowerPC/vec_misalign.ll is updated to test
the code generation for PPC64 and PPC64LE, in addition to the existing
PPC32/G5 testing.
