Replace spills to memory with spills to registers, if possible. This
applies mostly to predicate registers (both scalar and vector), since
they are very limited in number. A spill of a predicate register may
happen even if there is a general-purpose register available. In cases
like this the stack spill/reload may be eliminated completely.
This optimization will consider all stack objects, regardless of where
they came from and try to match the live range of the stack slot with
a dead range of a register from an appropriate register class.

Rewrite the code to handle all pseudo-instructions in a single pass.
This temporarily reverts spill slot optimization that used general-
purpose registers to hold values of spilled predicate registers.

We can generate the actual instructions from the intrinsics without the
need for pseudo-instructions. Also, since the intrinsics have a side-
effect in a form of a store, attempt to optimize away loads from the
store location.

The DataLayout can calculate alignment of vectors based on the alignment
of the element type and the number of elements. In fact, it is the product
of these two values. The problem is that for vectors of N x i1, this will
return the alignment of N bytes, since the alignment of i1 is 8 bits. The
vector types of vNi1 should be aligned to N bits instead. Provide explicit
alignment for HVX vectors to avoid such complications.

Summary:
This patch is provided in preparation for removing autoconf on 1/26. The proposal to remove autoconf on 1/26 was discussed on the llvm-dev thread here: http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-dev/2016-January/093875.html

This is a very limited implementation of DFG-based copy propagation.
It only handles actual COPY instructions (does not handle other equivalents
such as add-immediate with a 0 operand).
The major limitation is that it does not update the DFG: that will be the
change required to make it more robust (hopefully coming up soon).

Target independent, SSA-based data flow framework for representing
data flow between physical registers.
This commit implements the creation of the actual data flow graph.
