Currently, an instruction setting the condition code is linked to
the instruction using the condition code via a "glue" link in the
SelectionDAG. This has a number of drawbacks; in particular, it
means the same CC cannot be used by multiple users. It also makes
it more difficult to efficiently implement SADDO et. al.
This patch changes the back-end to represent CC dependencies as
normal values during SelectionDAG matching, along the lines of
how this is handled in the X86 back-end already.
In addition to the core mechanics of updating all relevant patterns,
this requires a number of additional changes:
- We now need to be able to spill/restore a CC value into a GPR
if necessary. This means providing a copyPhysReg implementation
for moves involving CC, and defining getCrossCopyRegClass.
- Since we still prefer to avoid such spills, we provide an override
for IsProfitableToFold to avoid creating a merged LOAD / ICMP if
this would result in multiple users of the CC.
- combineCCMask no longer requires a single CC user, and no longer
need to be careful about preventing invalid glue/chain cycles.
- emitSelect needs to be more careful in marking CC live-in to
the basic block it generates. Also, we can now optimize the
case of multiple subsequent selects with the same condition
just like X86 does.

This patch moves formation of LOC-type instructions from (late)
IfConversion to the early if-conversion pass, and in some cases
additionally creates them directly from select instructions
during DAG instruction selection.
To make early if-conversion work, the patch implements the
canInsertSelect / insertSelect callbacks. It also implements
the commuteInstructionImpl and FoldImmediate callbacks to
enable generation of the full range of LOC instructions.
Finally, the patch adds support for all instructions of the
load-store-on-condition-2 facility, which allows using LOC
instructions also for high registers.
Due to the use of the GRX32 register class to enable high registers,
we now also have to handle the cases where there are still no single
hardware instructions (conditional move from a low register to a high
register or vice versa). These are converted back to a branch sequence
after register allocation. Since the expandRAPseudos callback is not
allowed to create new basic blocks, this requires a simple new pass,
modelled after the ARM/AArch64 ExpandPseudos pass.
Overall, this patch causes significantly more LOC-type instructions
to be used, and results in a measurable performance improvement.
