For 8-bit divrems where the remainder is used, we used to generate:
divb %sil
shrw $8, %ax
movzbl %al, %eax
That was to avoid an H-reg access, which is problematic mainly because
it isn't possible in REX-prefixed instructions.
This patch optimizes that to:
divb %sil
movzbl %ah, %eax
To do that, we explicitly extend AH, and extract the L-subreg in the
resulting register. The extension is done using the NOREX variants of
MOVZX. To support signed operations, MOVSX_NOREX is also added.
Further, this introduces a new SDNode type, [us]divrem_ext_hreg, which is
then lowered to a sequence containing a single zext (rather than 2).
