When VSX is available, these instructions should be used in preference to the
older variants that only have access to the scalar floating-point registers.

The P7 and A2 have additional floating-point conversion instructions which
allow a direct two-instruction sequence (plus load/store) to convert from all
combinations (signed/unsigned i32/i64) <--> (float/double) (on previous cores,
only some combinations were directly available).

This instruction is available on modern PPC64 CPUs, and is now used
to improve the SINT_TO_FP lowering (by eliminating the need for the
separate sign extension instruction and decreasing the amount of
needed stack space).
llvm-svn: 178446
The existing SINT_TO_FP code for i32 -> float/double conversion was disabled
because it relied on broken EXTSW_32/STD_32 instruction definitions. The
original intent had been to enable these 64-bit instructions to be used on CPUs
that support them even in 32-bit mode. Unfortunately, this form of lying to
the infrastructure was buggy (as explained in the FIXME comment) and had
therefore been disabled.
This re-enables this functionality, using regular DAG nodes, but only when
compiling in 64-bit mode. The old STD_32/EXTSW_32 definitions (which were dead)
are removed.
