Chris Lattner 9754d142a4 Implement an important entry from README_ALTIVEC:
If an altivec predicate compare is used immediately by a branch, don't
use a (serializing) MFCR instruction to read the CR6 register, which requires
a compare to get it back to CR's.  Instead, just branch on CR6 directly. :)

For example, for:
void foo2(vector float *A, vector float *B) {
  if (!vec_any_eq(*A, *B))
    *B = (vector float){0,0,0,0};
}

We now generate:

_foo2:
        mfspr r2, 256
        oris r5, r2, 12288
        mtspr 256, r5
        lvx v2, 0, r4
        lvx v3, 0, r3
        vcmpeqfp. v2, v3, v2
        bne cr6, LBB1_2 ; UnifiedReturnBlock
LBB1_1: ; cond_true
        vxor v2, v2, v2
        stvx v2, 0, r4
        mtspr 256, r2
        blr
LBB1_2: ; UnifiedReturnBlock
        mtspr 256, r2
        blr

instead of:

_foo2:
        mfspr r2, 256
        oris r5, r2, 12288
        mtspr 256, r5
        lvx v2, 0, r4
        lvx v3, 0, r3
        vcmpeqfp. v2, v3, v2
        mfcr r3, 2
        rlwinm r3, r3, 27, 31, 31
        cmpwi cr0, r3, 0
        beq cr0, LBB1_2 ; UnifiedReturnBlock
LBB1_1: ; cond_true
        vxor v2, v2, v2
        stvx v2, 0, r4
        mtspr 256, r2
        blr
LBB1_2: ; UnifiedReturnBlock
        mtspr 256, r2
        blr

This implements CodeGen/PowerPC/vec_br_cmp.ll.
