I was looking at some vector code generation and kept seeing
unnecessary vector copies into the Altivec half of the VSX registers.
I discovered that we overlooked v4i32 when adding the register classes
for VSX; we only added v4f32 and v2f64. This means that anything that
canonicalizes into v4i32 (which is a LOT of stuff) ends up being
forced into VRRC on its way to VSRC.
The fix is one line. The rest of the patch is fixing up some test
cases whose code generation has changed as a result.
This seems like it would be a good candidate for backport to 3.7.

TableGen had been nicely generating code to print a number of instructions using
shorter aliases (and PowerPC has plenty of short mnemonics), but we were not
calling it. For some of the aliases we support in the parser, TableGen can't
infer the "inverse" alias relationship, so there is still more to do.
Thus, after some hours of updating test cases...

Essentially the same as the GEP change in r230786.
A similar migration script can be used to update test cases, though a few more
test case improvements/changes were required this time around: (r229269-r229278)
import fileinput
import sys
import re
pat = re.compile(r"((?:=|:|^)\s*load (?:atomic )?(?:volatile )?(.*?))(| addrspace\(\d+\) *)\*($| *(?:%|@|null|undef|blockaddress|getelementptr|addrspacecast|bitcast|inttoptr|\[\[[a-zA-Z]|\{\{).*$)")
for line in sys.stdin:
sys.stdout.write(re.sub(pat, r"\1, \2\3*\4", line))

With the foregoing three patches, VSX instructions can be used for
little endian. This patch removes the restriction that prevented
this, and re-enables the test cases from the first three patches.
