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.

Software pipelining is an optimization for improving ILP by
overlapping loop iterations. Swing Modulo Scheduling (SMS) is
an implementation of software pipelining that attempts to
reduce register pressure and generate efficient pipelines with
a low compile-time cost.
This implementaion of SMS is a target-independent back-end pass.
When enabled, the pass should run just prior to the register
allocation pass, while the machine IR is in SSA form. If the pass
is successful, then the original loop is replaced by the optimized
loop. The optimized loop contains one or more prolog blocks, the
pipelined kernel, and one or more epilog blocks.
This pass is enabled for Hexagon only. To enable for other targets,
a couple of target specific hooks must be implemented, and the
pass needs to be called from the target's TargetMachine
implementation.

Schedule a load and its use in the same packet in MISched. Previously,
isResourceAvailable was returning false for dependences in the same
packet, which prevented MISched from packetizing a load and its use in
the same packet for v60.
