instructions are more aligned than the CPU requires, and adds some additional
directives, to follow in future patches. Patch by David Meyer!

The DSP instructions in the Thumb2 instruction set are an optional extension
in the Cortex-M* archtitecture. When present, the implementation is considered
an "ARMv7E-M implementation," and when not, an "ARMv7-M implementation."
Add a subtarget feature hook for the v7e-m instructions and hook it up. The
cortex-m3 cpu is an example of a v7m implementation, while the cortex-m4 is
a v7e-m implementation.

Making use of VFP / NEON floating point multiply-accumulate / subtraction is
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.
Enable these fp vmlx codegen changes for Cortex-A9.

"-mattr=+vfp3" is specified. However, this will not work for hardware that
only supports 16 registers. Add a new flag to support -"mattr=+vfp3,+d16".

take multiple cycles to decode.
For the current if-converter clients (actually only ARM), the instructions that
are predicated on false are not nops. They would still take machine cycles to
decode. Micro-coded instructions such as LDM / STM can potentially take multiple
cycles to decode. If-converter should take treat them as non-micro-coded
simple instructions.

memory and synchronization barrier dmb and dsb instructions.
- Change instruction names to something more sensible (matching name of actual
instructions).
- Added tests for memory barrier codegen.

When a target instruction wants to set target-specific flags, it should simply
set bits in the TSFlags bit vector defined in the Instruction TableGen class.
This works well because TableGen resolves member references late:
class I : Instruction {
AddrMode AM = AddrModeNone;
let TSFlags{3-0} = AM.Value;
}
let AM = AddrMode4 in
def ADD : I;
TSFlags gets the expected bits from AddrMode4 in this example.
