This was unfortunately incorrect, there is is fact another,
serious drawback to using the default VK_TLSLD/VK_TLSGD
variant kinds: using these causes ELFObjectWriter::RelocNeedsGOT
to return true, which in turn causes the ELFObjectWriter to emit
an undefined reference to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_.
This is a problem on powerpc64, because it uses the TOC instead
of the GOT, and the linker does not provide _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_,
so the symbol remains undefined. This means shared libraries
using TLS built with the integrated assembler are currently
broken.
While the whole RelocNeedsGOT / _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ situation
probably ought to be properly fixed at some point, for now I'm
simply reverting the r185476 commit. Now this in turn exposes
the breakage of handling @tlsgd/@tlsld in the asm parser that
this check-in was originally intended to fix.
To avoid this regression, I'm also adding a different fix for
this problem: while common code now parses @tlsgd as VK_TLSGD,
a special hack in the asm parser translates this code to the
platform-specific VK_PPC_TLSGD that the back-end now expects.
While this is not really pretty, it's self-contained and
shouldn't hurt anything else for now. One the underlying
problem is fixed, this hack can be reverted again.

The PowerPC-specific modifiers VK_PPC_TLSGD and VK_PPC_TLSLD
correspond exactly to the generic modifiers VK_TLSGD and VK_TLSLD.
This causes some confusion with the asm parser, since VK_PPC_TLSGD
is output as @tlsgd, which is then read back in as VK_TLSGD.
To avoid this confusion, this patch removes the PowerPC-specific
modifiers and uses the generic modifiers throughout. (The only
drawback is that the generic modifiers are printed in upper case
while the usual convention on PowerPC is to use lower-case modifiers.
But this is just a cosmetic issue.)

Some implementation detail in the forgotten past required the link
register to be placed in the GPRC and G8RC register classes. This is
just wrong on the face of it, and causes several extra intersection
register classes to be generated. I found this was having evil
effects on instruction scheduling, by causing the wrong register class
to be consulted for register pressure decisions.
No code generation changes are expected, other than some minor changes
in instruction order. Seven tests in the test bucket required minor
tweaks to adjust to the new normal.

PowerPC target. This is the last of the four models, so we now have
full TLS support.
This is mostly a straightforward extension of the general dynamic model.
I had to use an additional Chain operand to tie ADDIS_DTPREL_HA to the
register copy following ADDI_TLSLD_L; otherwise everything above the
ADDIS_DTPREL_HA appeared dead and was removed.
As before, there are new test cases to test the assembly generation, and
the relocations output during integrated assembly. The expected code
gen sequence can be read in test/CodeGen/PowerPC/tls-ld.ll.
There are a couple of things I think can be done more efficiently in the
overall TLS code, so there will likely be a clean-up patch forthcoming;
but for now I want to be sure the functionality is in place.
