This patch adds support for the following new instructions in the
Power ISA 2.07:
vpksdss
vpksdus
vpkudus
vpkudum
vupkhsw
vupklsw
These instructions are available through the vec_packs, vec_packsu,
vec_unpackh, and vec_unpackl built-in interfaces. These are
lane-sensitive instructions, so the built-ins have different
implementations for big- and little-endian, and the instructions must
be marked as killing the vector swap optimization for now.
The first three instructions perform saturating pack operations. The
fourth performs a modulo pack operation, which means it can be
represented with a vector shuffle, and conversely the appropriate
vector shuffles may cause this instruction to be generated. The other
instructions are only generated via built-in support for now.
Appropriate tests have been added.
There is a companion patch to clang for the rest of this support.

The initial code drop for VSX swap optimization permitted the
optimization only when all operations in a web of related computation
are lane-insensitive. For some lane-sensitive operations, we can
still permit the optimization provided that we make adjustments to
those operations. This patch adds special handling for vector splats
so that their presence doesn't kill the optimization.
Vector splats are lane-sensitive since they identify by number a
vector element to be used as the source of a splat. When swap
optimizations take place, the desired vector element will move to the
opposite doubleword of the quadword vector. We thus replace the index
I by (I + N/2) % N, where N is the number of elements in the vector.
A new test case is added to test that swap optimization succeeds when
vector splats are present, and that the proper input element is used
as the source of the splat.
An ancillary change removes SH_BUILDVEC as one of the kinds of special
handling that may be required by VSX swap optimization. From
experience with GCC, I had expected to need some modifications for
vector build operations, but I did not find that to be the case.

This patch adds a new SSA MI pass that runs on little-endian PPC64
code with VSX enabled. Loads and stores of 4x32 and 2x64 vectors
without alignment constraints are accomplished for little-endian using
lxvd2x/xxswapd and xxswapd/stxvd2x. The existence of the additional
xxswapd instructions hurts performance in comparison with big-endian
code, but they are necessary in the general case to support correct
semantics.
However, the general case does not apply to most vector code. Many
vector instructions are lane-insensitive; they do not "care" which
lanes the parallel computations are performed within, provided that
the resulting data is stored into the correct locations. Thus this
pass looks for computations that perform only lane-insensitive
operations, and remove the unnecessary swaps from loads and stores in
such computations.
Future improvements will allow computations using certain
lane-sensitive operations to also be optimized in this manner, by
modifying the lane-sensitive operations to account for the permuted
order of the lanes. However, this patch only adds the infrastructure
to permit this; no lane-sensitive operations are optimized at this
time.
This code is heavily exercised by the various vectorizing applications
in the projects/test-suite tree. For the time being, I have only added
one simple test case to demonstrate what the pass is doing. Although
it is quite simple, it provides coverage for much of the code,
including the special case handling of copies and subreg-to-reg
operations feeding the swaps. I plan to add additional tests in the
future as I fill in more of the "special handling" code.
Two existing tests were affected, because they expected the swaps to
be present, but they are now removed.
