Tony Jiang 438bf4a66b [PPC] Heuristic to choose between a X-Form VSX ld/st vs a X-Form FP ld/st.
The VSX versions have the advantage of a full 64-register target whereas the FP
ones have the advantage of lower latency and higher throughput. So what we’re
after is using the faster instructions in low register pressure situations and
using the larger register file in high register pressure situations.

The heuristic chooses between the following 7 pairs of instructions.
PPC::LXSSPX vs PPC::LFSX
PPC::LXSDX vs PPC::LFDX
PPC::STXSSPX vs PPC::STFSX
PPC::STXSDX vs PPC::STFDX
PPC::LXSIWAX vs PPC::LFIWAX
PPC::LXSIWZX vs PPC::LFIWZX
PPC::STXSIWX vs PPC::STFIWX

Ehsan Amiri a538b0f023 Adding -verify-machineinstrs option to PowerPC tests
Currently we have a number of tests that fail with -verify-machineinstrs.
To detect this cases earlier we add the option to the testcases with the
exception of tests that will currently fail with this option. PR 27456 keeps
track of this failures.

No code review, as discussed with Hal Finkel.

Ehsan Amiri 322eca3849 [PPC] Use VSX/FP Facility integer load when an integer load's only users are conversion to FP
http://reviews.llvm.org/D18405

When the integer value loaded is never used directly as integer we should use VSX 
or Floating Point Facility integer loads and avoid extra direct move
