This patch lets the llvm tools handle the new HVX target features that
are added by frontend (clang). The target-features are of the form
"hvx-length64b" for 64 Byte HVX mode, "hvx-length128b" for 128 Byte mode HVX.
"hvx-double" is an alias to "hvx-length128b" and is soon will be deprecated.
The hvx version target feature is upgated form "+hvx" to "+hvxv{version_number}.
Eg: "+hvxv62"
For the correct HVX code generation, the user must use the following
target features.
For 64B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length64b"
For 128B mode: "+hvxv62" "+hvx-length128b"
Clang picks a default length if none is specified. If for some reason,
no hvx-length is specified to llvm, the compilation will bail out.
There is a corresponding clang patch.

The Stack slot coloring pass removes a store that is followed by a load
that deal with the same stack slot. The function isLoadFromStackSlot
is supposed to consider the loads that have no side-effects. This
patch fixed the issue by removing the unsafe loads from this function
Eg:
%vreg0<def> = L2_loadruh_io <fi#15>, 0
S2_storeri_io <fi#15>, 0, %vreg0
In this case, we load an unsigned extended half word and store this in to
the same stack slot. The Stack slot coloring pass considers safe to remove
the store. This patch marked all the non-vector byte and half word loads as
unsafe.
