I never completed the work on the patches referenced by
f8bf7d7f42, but this was intended to
avoid folding immediate writes into m0 which the coalescer doesn't
understand very well. Relax this to allow simple SGPR immediates to
fold directly into VGPR copies. This pattern shows up routinely in
current GlobalISel code since nothing is smart enough to emit VGPR
constants yet.
The current set of custom combines are only really useful after
legalization, so move them there. There is a lot of overlap in the
boilerplate here, but I think we do want a pretty different set of
combines before and after legalize. I think we will want a lot of
overlap between the post-legalize and a post-regbankselect combiner.
