Some of these tests did not specify a cpu but were also sensitive to
instruction scheduling and/or register assignment choices. A few others
similarly-sensitive tests specified a cpu (often the POWER7), and while the P7
currently uses the default model for PPC64, this will soon change. For those
tests which should not really be cpu-dependent anyway, the cpu is set to the
generic 'ppc64'.

On PowerPC, non-vector loads and stores have r+i forms; however, in functions
with large stack frames these were not being used to access slots far from the
stack pointer because such slots were out of range for the signed 16-bit
immediate offset field. This increases register pressure because we need a
separate register for each offset (when the r+r form is used). By enabling
virtual base registers, we can deal with large stack frames without unduly
increasing register pressure.
