cfbf0ed8b0 Apply the SSE dependence idiom for SSE unary operations to
SD instructions too, in addition to SS instructions. And
add a comment about it.

b1f4981333 Remove target attribute break-sse-dep. Instead, do not fold load into sse partial update instructions unless optimizing for size.

400073d546 On recent Intel u-arch's, folding loads into some unary SSE instructions can
be non-optimal. To be precise, we should avoid folding loads if the instructions
only update part of the destination register, and the non-updated part is not
needed. e.g. cvtss2sd, sqrtss. Unfolding the load from these instructions breaks
the partial register dependency and it can improve performance. e.g.

movss (%rdi), %xmm0
cvtss2sd %xmm0, %xmm0

instead of
cvtss2sd (%rdi), %xmm0

An alternative method to break dependency is to clear the register first. e.g.
xorps %xmm0, %xmm0
cvtss2sd (%rdi), %xmm0
