This implements the review suggestion to simplify the AArch64 backend. If we
later discover that we *really* need the extra complexity of the
ConstantIslands pass for performance reasons it can be resurrected.

base point of a load, and the overall alignment of the load. This caused infinite loops in DAG combine with the
original application of this patch.
ORIGINAL COMMIT LOG:
When the target-independent DAGCombiner inferred a higher alignment for a load,
it would replace the load with one with the higher alignment. However, it did
not place the new load in the worklist, which prevented later DAG combines in
the same phase (for example, target-specific combines) from ever seeing it.
This patch corrects that oversight, and updates some tests whose output changed
due to slightly different DAGCombine outputs.

Only Linux is supported at the moment, and other platforms quickly fault. As a
result these tests would fail on non-Linux hosts. It may be worth making the
tests more generic again as more platforms are supported.

This patch adds support for AArch64 (ARM's 64-bit architecture) to
LLVM in the "experimental" category. Currently, it won't be built
unless requested explicitly.
This initial commit should have support for:
+ Assembly of all scalar (i.e. non-NEON, non-Crypto) instructions
(except the late addition CRC instructions).
+ CodeGen features required for C++03 and C99.
+ Compilation for the "small" memory model: code+static data <
4GB.
+ Absolute and position-independent code.
+ GNU-style (i.e. "__thread") TLS.
+ Debugging information.
The principal omission, currently, is performance tuning.
This patch excludes the NEON support also reviewed due to an outbreak of
batshit insanity in our legal department. That will be committed soon bringing
the changes to precisely what has been approved.
Further reviews would be gratefully received.
