difficult on current ARM implementations for a few reasons.
1. Even though a single vmla has latency that is one cycle shorter than a pair
of vmul + vadd, a RAW hazard during the first (4? on Cortex-a8) can cause
additional pipeline stall. So it's frequently better to single codegen
vmul + vadd.
2. A vmla folowed by a vmul, vmadd, or vsub causes the second fp instruction to
stall for 4 cycles. We need to schedule them apart.
3. A vmla followed vmla is a special case. Obvious issuing back to back RAW
vmla + vmla is very bad. But this isn't ideal either:
vmul
vadd
vmla
Instead, we want to expand the second vmla:
vmla
vmul
vadd
Even with the 4 cycle vmul stall, the second sequence is still 2 cycles
faster.
Up to now, isel simply avoid codegen'ing fp vmla / vmls. This works well enough
but it isn't the optimial solution. This patch attempts to make it possible to
use vmla / vmls in cases where it is profitable.
A. Add missing isel predicates which cause vmla to be codegen'ed.
B. Make sure the fmul in (fadd (fmul)) has a single use. We don't want to
compute a fmul and a fmla.
C. Add additional isel checks for vmla, avoid cases where vmla is feeding into
fp instructions (except for the #3 exceptional case).
D. Add ARM hazard recognizer to model the vmla / vmls hazards.
E. Add a special pre-regalloc case to expand vmla / vmls when it's likely the
vmla / vmls will trigger one of the special hazards.
Work in progress, only A+B are enabled.

1. Fix pre-ra scheduler so it doesn't try to push instructions above calls to
"optimize for latency". Call instructions don't have the right latency and
this is more likely to use introduce spills.
2. Fix if-converter cost function. For ARM, it should use instruction latencies,
not # of micro-ops since multi-latency instructions is completely executed
even when the predicate is false. Also, some instruction will be "slower"
when they are predicated due to the register def becoming implicit input.

1. Cortex-A8 load / store multiplies can only issue on ALU0.
2. Eliminate A8_Issue, A8_LSPipe will correctly limit the load / store issues.
3. Correctly model all vld1 and vld2 variants.

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.

disabled and then never turned back on again. Adjust some tests, one because
this change avoids an unnecessary instruction, and the other to make it
continue testing what it was intended to test.
