Add a natural stack alignment field to TargetData, and prevent InstCombine from
...
promoting allocas to preferred alignments that exceed the natural
alignment. This avoids some potentially expensive dynamic stack realignments.
The natural stack alignment is set in target data strings via the "S<size>"
option. Size is in bits and must be a multiple of 8. The natural stack alignment
defaults to "unspecified" (represented by a zero value), and the "unspecified"
value does not prevent any alignment promotions. Target maintainers that care
about avoiding promotions should explicitly add the "S<size>" option to their
target data strings.

We are generating movaps for all XMM register copies, including scalar
floating point values. This is known to be at least as good as movss and movsd
for all known architectures up to and including Nehalem because it avoids a
partial register stall.
The SSEDomainFix pass will switch movaps to movdqa when appropriate (i.e., when
operands come from the integer unit). We don't now that switching movaps to
movapd has any benefit.
The same applies to andps -> pand.

into a vector of zeros or undef, and when the top part is obviously
zero, we can just use movd + shuffle. This allows us to compile
vec_set-B.ll into:
_test3:
movl $1234567, %eax
andl 4(%esp), %eax
movd %eax, %xmm0
ret
instead of:
_test3:
subl $28, %esp
movl $1234567, %eax
andl 32(%esp), %eax
movl %eax, (%esp)
movl $0, 4(%esp)
movq (%esp), %xmm0
