Replace float load/store pair with integer load/store pair when it's only used in load/store,
because float load/store instructions cost more cycles then integer load/store.
A typical scenario is when there is a call with more than 13 float arguments passing, we need pass them by stack.
So we need a load/store pair to do such memory operation if the variable is global variable.

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.

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

When small arguments (structures < 8 bytes or "float") are passed in a
stack slot in the ppc64 SVR4 ABI, they must reside in the least
significant part of that slot. On BE, this means that an offset needs
to be added to the stack address of the parameter, but on LE, the least
significant part of the slot has the same address as the slot itself.
This changes the PowerPC back-end ABI code to only add the small
argument stack slot offset for BE. It also adds test cases to verify
the correct behavior on both BE and LE.
