This patch lets the llvm tools handle the new HVX target features that
are added by frontend (clang). The target-features are of the form
"hvx-length64b" for 64 Byte HVX mode, "hvx-length128b" for 128 Byte mode HVX.
"hvx-double" is an alias to "hvx-length128b" and is soon will be deprecated.
The hvx version target feature is upgated form "+hvx" to "+hvxv{version_number}.
Eg: "+hvxv62"
For the correct HVX code generation, the user must use the following
target features.
For 64B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length64b"
For 128B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length128b"
Clang picks a default length if none is specified. If for some reason,
no hvx-length is specified to llvm, the compilation will bail out.
There is a corresponding clang patch.

The compiler was generating code that ends up ignoring a multiple
latency dependence between two instructions by scheduling the
intructions in back-to-back packets.
The packetizer needs to end a packet if the latency of the current
current insruction and the source in the previous packet is
greater than 1 cycle. This case occurs when there is still room in
the current packet, but scheduling the instruction causes a stall.
Instead, the packetizer should start a new packet. Also, if the
current packet already contains a stall, then it is okay to add
another instruction to the packet that also causes a stall. This
occurs when there are no instructions that can be scheduled in
between the producer and consumer instructions.
This patch changes the latency for loads to 2 cycles from 3 cycles.
This change refects that a load only needs to be separated by
one extra packet to eliminate the stall.
