Update the entire regression test suite for the new shuffles. Remove
most of the old testing which was devoted to the old shuffle lowering
path and is no longer relevant really. Also remove a few other random
tests that only really exercised shuffles and only incidently or without
any interesting aspects to them.
Benchmarking that I have done shows a few small regressions with this on
LNT, zero measurable regressions on real, large applications, and for
several benchmarks where the loop vectorizer fires in the hot path it
shows 5% to 40% improvements for SSE2 and SSE3 code running on Sandy
Bridge machines. Running on AMD machines shows even more dramatic
improvements.
When using newer ISA vector extensions the gains are much more modest,
but the code is still better on the whole. There are a few regressions
being tracked (PR21137, PR21138, PR21139) but by and large this is
expected to be a win for x86 generated code performance.
It is also more correct than the code it replaces. I have fuzz tested
this extensively with ISA extensions up through AVX2 and found no
crashes or miscompiles (yet...). The old lowering had a few miscompiles
and crashers after a somewhat smaller amount of fuzz testing.
There is one significant area where the new code path lags behind and
that is in AVX-512 support. However, there was *extremely little*
support for that already and so this isn't a significant step backwards
and the new framework will probably make it easier to implement lowering
that uses the full power of AVX-512's table-based shuffle+blend (IMO).
Many thanks to Quentin, Andrea, Robert, and others for benchmarking
assistance. Thanks to Adam and others for help with AVX-512. Thanks to
Hal, Eric, and *many* others for answering my incessant questions about
how the backend actually works. =]
I will leave the old code path in the tree until the 3 PRs above are at
least resolved to folks' satisfaction. Then I will rip it (and 1000s of
lines of code) out. =] I don't expect this flag to stay around for very
long. It may not survive next week.

The clever way to implement signed multiplication with unsigned *is
already implemented* and tested and working correctly. The bug is
somewhere else. Re-investigating.
This will teach me to not scroll far enough to read the code that did
what I thought needed to be done.

signed multiplication is requested. While there is not a difference in
the *low* half of the result, the *high* half (used specifically to
implement the signed division by these constants) certainly is used. The
test case I've nuked was actively asserting wrong code.
There is a delightful solution to doing signed multiplication even when
we don't have it that Richard Smith has crafted, but I'll add the
machinery back and implement that in a follow-up patch. This at least
restores correctness.

This changes the SelectionDAG scheduling preference to source
order. Soon, the SelectionDAG scheduler can be bypassed saving
a nice chunk of compile time.
Performance differences that result from this change are often a
consequence of register coalescing. The register coalescer is far from
perfect. Bugs can be filed for deficiencies.
On x86 SandyBridge/Haswell, the source order schedule is often
preserved, particularly for small blocks.
Register pressure is generally improved over the SD scheduler's ILP
mode. However, we are still able to handle large blocks that require
latency hiding, unlike the SD scheduler's BURR mode. MI scheduler also
attempts to discover the critical path in single-block loops and
adjust heuristics accordingly.
The MI scheduler relies on the new machine model. This is currently
unimplemented for AVX, so we may not be generating the best code yet.
Unit tests are updated so they don't depend on SD scheduling heuristics.

This option has been disabled for a while, and it is going away so I can
clean up the coalescer code.
The tests that required physreg joining to be enabled were almost all of
the form "tiny function with interference between arguments and return
value". Such functions are usually inlined in the real world.
The problem exposed by phys_subreg_coalesce-3.ll is real, but fairly
rare.

%reg1028<def> = EXTRACT_SUBREG %reg1027<kill>, 1
%reg1029<def> = MOV8rr %reg1028
%reg1029<def> = SHR8ri %reg1029, 7, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>
insert => %reg1030<def> = MOV8rr %reg1028
%reg1030<def> = ADD8rr %reg1028<kill>, %reg1029<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>
In this case, it might not be possible to coalesce the second MOV8rr
instruction if the first one is coalesced. So it would be profitable to
commute it:
%reg1028<def> = EXTRACT_SUBREG %reg1027<kill>, 1
%reg1029<def> = MOV8rr %reg1028
%reg1029<def> = SHR8ri %reg1029, 7, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>
insert => %reg1030<def> = MOV8rr %reg1029
%reg1030<def> = ADD8rr %reg1029<kill>, %reg1028<kill>, %EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>

sometimes a "mov %ebp, %esp" in the epilogue.
Force these tests that rely on counting 'mov' to use i686-apple-darwin8.8.0
where they were written.
