type as the vector element type: allow them to be of
a wider integer type than the element type all the way
through the system, and not just as far as LegalizeDAG.
This should be safe because it used to be this way
(the old type legalizer would produce such nodes), so
backends should be able to handle it. In fact only
targets which have legal vector types with an illegal
promoted element type will ever see this (eg: <4 x i16>
on ppc). This fixes a regression with the new type
legalizer (vec_splat.ll). Also, treat SCALAR_TO_VECTOR
the same as BUILD_VECTOR. After all, it is just a
special case of BUILD_VECTOR.

promoted to legal types without changing the type of the vector. This is
following a suggestion from Duncan
(http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvmdev/2009-February/019923.html).
The transformation that used to be done during type legalization is now
postponed to DAG legalization. This allows the BUILD_VECTORs to be optimized
and potentially handled specially by target-specific code.
It turns out that this is also consistent with an optimization done by the
DAG combiner: a BUILD_VECTOR and INSERT_VECTOR_ELT may be combined by
replacing one of the BUILD_VECTOR operands with the newly inserted element;
but INSERT_VECTOR_ELT allows its scalar operand to be larger than the
element type, with any extra high bits being implicitly truncated. The
result is a BUILD_VECTOR where one of the operands has a type larger the
the vector element type.
Any code that operates on BUILD_VECTORs may now need to be aware of the
potential type discrepancy between the vector element type and the
BUILD_VECTOR operands. This patch updates all of the places that I could
find to handle that case.

and expanding a bit convert (PR3711). In both cases, we extract the
valid part of the widen vector and then do the conversion.

instruction. The class also consolidates the code for detecting constant
splats that's shared across PowerPC and the CellSPU backends (and might be
useful for other backends.) Also introduces SelectionDAG::getBUID_VECTOR() for
generating new BUILD_VECTOR nodes.

getCALLSEQ_{END,START} to permit passing no DebugLoc
there. UNDEF doesn't logically have DebugLoc; add
getUNDEF to encapsulate this.

result to match the expected promoted type.

essential problem was that the DAG can contain
random unused nodes which were never analyzed.
When remapping a value of a node being processed,
such a node may become used and need to be analyzed;
however due to operands being transformed during
analysis the node may morph into a different one.
Users of the morphing node need to be updated, and
this wasn't happening. While there I added a bunch
of documentation and sanity checks, so I (or some
other poor soul) won't have to scratch their head
over this stuff so long trying to remember how it
was all supposed to work next time some obscure
problem pops up! The extra sanity checking exposed
a few places where invariants weren't being preserved,
so those are fixed too. Since some of the sanity
checking is expensive, I added a flag to turn it
on. It is also turned on when building with
ENABLE_EXPENSIVE_CHECKS=1.

with ConstantInt. This led to fixing a bug in TargetLowering.cpp
using getValue instead of getAPIntValue.
