Andrew Trick 880e573d98 MI-Sched: handle latency of in-order operations with the new machine model.
The per-operand machine model allows the target to define "unbuffered"
processor resources. This change is a quick, cheap way to model stalls
caused by the latency of operations that use such resources. This only
applies when the processor's micro-op buffer size is non-zero
(Out-of-Order). We can't precisely model in-order stalls during
out-of-order execution, but this is an easy and effective
heuristic. It benefits cortex-a9 scheduling when using the new
machine model, which is not yet on by default.

MI-Sched for armv7 was evaluated on Swift (and only not enabled because
of a performance bug related to predication). However, we never
evaluated Cortex-A9 performance on MI-Sched in its current form. This
change adds MI-Sched functionality to reach performance goals on
A9. The only remaining change is to allow MI-Sched to run as a PostRA
pass.

I evaluated performance using a set of options to estimate the performance impact once MI sched is default on armv7:
-mcpu=cortex-a9 -disable-post-ra -misched-bench -scheditins=false

For a simple saxpy loop I see a 1.7x speedup. Here are the llvm-testsuite results:
(min run time over 2 runs, filtering tiny changes)
