DAG. Disable using "-disable-sched-cycles".
For ARM, this enables a framework for modeling the cpu pipeline and
counting stalls. It also activates several heuristics to drive
scheduling based on the model. Scheduling is inherently imprecise at
this stage, and until spilling is improved it may defeat attempts to
schedule. However, this framework provides greater control over
tuning codegen.
Although the flag is not target-specific, it should have very little
affect on the default scheduler used by x86. The only two changes that
affect x86 are:
- scheduling a high-latency operation bumps the current cycle so independent
operations can have their latency covered. i.e. two independent 4
cycle operations can produce results in 4 cycles, not 8 cycles.
- Two operations with equal register pressure impact and no
latency-based stalls on their uses will be prioritized by depth before height
(height is irrelevant if no stalls occur in the schedule below this point).

callee-saved registers at the end of the lists. Also prefer to avoid using
the low registers that are in register subclasses required by certain
instructions, so that those registers will more likely be available when needed.
This change makes a huge improvement in spilling in some cases. Thanks to
Jakob for helping me realize the problem.
Most of this patch is fixing the testsuite. There are quite a few places
where we're checking for specific registers. I changed those to wildcards
in places where that doesn't weaken the tests. The spill-q.ll and
thumb2-spill-q.ll tests stopped spilling with this change, so I added a bunch
of live values to force spills on those tests.

The trouble arises when the result of a vector cmp + sext is then and'ed with all ones. Instcombine will turn it into a vector cmp + zext, dag combiner will miss turning it into a vsetcc and hell breaks loose after that.
Teach dag combine to turn a vector cpm + zest into a vsetcc + and 1. This fixes rdar://7923010.
