===-------------------------------------------------------------------------===
On the G5, logical CR operations are more expensive in their three
address form: ops that read/write the same register are half as expensive as
those that read from two registers that are different from their destination.
We should model this with two separate instructions. The isel should generate
the "two address" form of the instructions. When the register allocator
detects that it needs to insert a copy due to the two-addresness of the CR
logical op, it will invoke PPCInstrInfo::convertToThreeAddress. At this point
we can convert to the "three address" instruction, to save code space.
This only matters when we start generating cr logical ops.
