INSERT is the first type of MSA instruction that requires a change to the way
MSA registers are parsed. This happens because MSA registers may be suffixed by
an index in the form of an immediate or a general purpose register. The changes
to parseMSARegs reflect that requirement.

This patch fixes an old FIXME by creating a MCTargetStreamer interface
and moving the target specific functions for ARM, Mips and PPC to it.
The ARM streamer is still declared in a common place because it is
used from lib/CodeGen/ARMException.cpp, but the Mips and PPC are
completely hidden in the corresponding Target directories.
I will send an email to llvmdev with instructions on how to use this.

accumulator instead of its sub-registers, $hi and $lo.
We need this change to prevent a mflo following a mtlo from reading an
unpredictable/undefined value, as shown in the following example:
mult $6, $7 // result of $6 * $7 is written to $lo and $hi.
mflo $2 // read lower 32-bit result from $lo.
mtlo $4 // write to $lo. the content of $hi becomes unpredictable.
mfhi $3 // read higher 32-bit from $hi, which has an unpredictable value.
I don't have a test case for this change that reliably reproduces the problem.

When MC was first added, targets could use hasRawTextSupport to keep features
working before they were added to the MC interface.
The design goal of MC is to provide an uniform api for printing assembly and
object files. Short of relaxations and other corner cases, a object file is
just another representation of the assembly.
It was never the intention that targets would keep doing things like
if (hasRawTextSupport())
Set flags in one way.
else
Set flags in another way.
When they do that they create two code paths and the object file is no longer
just another representation of the assembly. This also then requires testing
with llc -filetype=obj, which is extremelly brittle.
This patch removes some of these hacks by replacing them with smaller ones.
The ARM flag setting is trivial, so I just moved it to the constructor. For
Mips, the patch adds two temporary hack directives that allow the assembly
to represent the same things as the object file was already able to.
The hope is that the mips developers will replace the hack directives with
the same ones that gas uses and drop the -print-hack-directives flag.
I will also try to implement a target streamer interface, so that we can
move this out of the common code.
In summary, for any new work, two rules of the thumb are
* Don't use "llc -filetype=obj" in tests.
* Don't add calls to hasRawTextSupport.

This patch handles LLVM standalone assembler (llvm-mc) ELF flag setting based on input file
directive processing.
Mips assembly requires processing inline directives that directly and
indirectly affect the output ELF header flags. This patch handles one
".abicalls".
To process these directives we are following the model the code generator
uses by storing state in a container as we go through processing and when
we detect the end of input file processing, AsmParser is notified and we
update the ELF header flags through a MipsELFStreamer method with a call from
MCTargetAsmParser::emitEndOfAsmFile(MCStreamer &OutStreamer).
This patch will allow other targets the same functionality.

of loops.
Previously, two consecutive calls to function "func" would result in the
following sequence of instructions:
1. load $16, %got(func)($gp) // load address of lazy-binding stub.
2. move $25, $16
3. jalr $25 // jump to lazy-binding stub.
4. nop
5. move $25, $16
6. jalr $25 // jump to lazy-binding stub again.
With this patch, the second call directly jumps to func's address, bypassing
the lazy-binding resolution routine:
1. load $25, %got(func)($gp) // load address of lazy-binding stub.
2. jalr $25 // jump to lazy-binding stub.
3. nop
4. load $25, %got(func)($gp) // load resolved address of func.
5. jalr $25 // directly jump to func.
