- Remove code which lowers pseudo SETGP01.
- Fix LowerSETGP01. The first two of the three instructions that are emitted to
initialize the global pointer register now use register $2.
- Stop emitting .cpload directive.

pointer register.
This is the first of the series of patches which clean up the way global pointer
register is used. The patches will make the following improvements:
- Make $gp an allocatable temporary register rather than reserving it.
- Use a virtual register as the global pointer register and let the register
allocator decide which register to assign to it or whether spill/reloads are
needed.
- Make sure $gp is valid at the entry of a called function, which is necessary
for functions using lazy binding.
- Remove the need for emitting .cprestore and .cpload directives.

This patch will optimize the following cases:
sub r1, r3 | sub r1, imm
cmp r3, r1 or cmp r1, r3 | cmp r1, imm
bge L1
TO
subs r1, r3
bge L1 or ble L1
If the branch instruction can use flag from "sub", then we can replace
"sub" with "subs" and eliminate the "cmp" instruction.

This patch will optimize -(x != 0) on X86
FROM
cmpl $0x01,%edi
sbbl %eax,%eax
notl %eax
TO
negl %edi
sbbl %eax %eax
In order to generate negl, I added patterns in Target/X86/X86InstrCompiler.td:
def : Pat<(X86sub_flag 0, GR32:$src), (NEG32r GR32:$src)>;

The primitive conservative heuristic seems to give a slight overall
improvement while not regressing stuff. Make it available to wider
testing. If you notice any speed regressions (or significant code
size regressions) let me know!

This came up when a change in block placement formed a cmov and slowed down a
hot loop by 50%:
ucomisd (%rdi), %xmm0
cmovbel %edx, %esi
cmov is a really bad choice in this context because it doesn't get branch
prediction. If we emit it as a branch, an out-of-order CPU can do a better job
(if the branch is predicted right) and avoid waiting for the slow load+compare
instruction to finish. Of course it won't help if the branch is unpredictable,
but those are really rare in practice.
This patch uses a dumb conservative heuristic, it turns all cmovs that have one
use and a direct memory operand into branches. cmovs usually save some code
size, so we disable the transform in -Os mode. In-Order architectures are
unlikely to benefit as well, those are included in the
"predictableSelectIsExpensive" flag.
It would be better to reuse branch probability info here, but BPI doesn't
support select instructions currently. It would make sense to use the same
heuristics as the if-converter pass, which does the opposite direction of this
transform.
Test suite shows a small improvement here and there on corei7-level machines,
but the actual results depend a lot on the used microarchitecture. The
transformation is currently disabled by default and available by passing the
-enable-cgp-select2branch flag to the code generator.
Thanks to Chandler for the initial test case to him and Evan Cheng for providing
me with comments and test-suite numbers that were more stable than mine :)

The new target machines are:
nvptx (old ptx32) => 32-bit PTX
nvptx64 (old ptx64) => 64-bit PTX
The sources are based on the internal NVIDIA NVPTX back-end, and
contain more functionality than the current PTX back-end currently
provides.

to catch cases like:
%reg1024<def> = MOV r1
%reg1025<def> = MOV r0
%reg1026<def> = ADD %reg1024, %reg1025
r0 = MOV %reg1026
By commuting ADD, it let coalescer eliminate all of the copies. However, there
was a bug in the heuristics where it ended up commuting the ADD in:
%reg1024<def> = MOV r0
%reg1025<def> = MOV 0
%reg1026<def> = ADD %reg1024, %reg1025
r0 = MOV %reg1026
That did no benefit but rather ensure the last MOV would not be coalesced.
