For this example:
float test (int *arr) {
return arr[2];
}
We currently generate the following code:
li r4, 8
lxsiwax f0, r3, r4
xscvsxdsp f1, f0
With this patch, we will now generate:
addi r3, r3, 8
lxsiwax f0, 0, r3
xscvsxdsp f1, f0

This is a re-commit of a pulled commit. The commit was pulled because some
software projects contained uses of Altivec vectors that violated alignment
requirements. Known issues have now been fixed.

some other minor corrections.

This is the final patch in the series of patches that improves
BUILD_VECTOR handling on PowerPC. This adds a few peephole optimizations
to remove redundant instructions. It also adds a large test case which
encompasses a large set of code patterns that build vectors - this test
case was the motivator for this series of patches.
