The old method used by X86TTI to determine partial-unrolling thresholds was
messy (because it worked by testing target features), and also would not
correctly identify the target CPU if certain target features were disabled.
After some discussions on IRC with Chandler et al., it was decided that the
processor scheduling models were the right containers for this information
(because it is often tied to special uop dispatch-buffer sizes).
This does represent a small functionality change:
- For generic x86-64 (which uses the SB model and, thus, will get some
unrolling).
- For AMD cores (because they still currently use the SB scheduling model)
- For Haswell (based on benchmarking by Louis Gerbarg, it was decided to bump
the default threshold to 50; we're working on a test case for this).
Otherwise, nothing has changed for any other targets. The logic, however, has
been moved into BasicTTI, so other targets may now also opt-in to this
functionality simply by setting LoopMicroOpBufferSize in their processor
model definitions.

Ideally, the machinel model is added at the time the instructions are
defined. But many instructions in X86InstrSSE.td still need a model.
Without this workaround the scheduler asserts because x86 already has
itinerary classes for these instructions, indicating they should be
modeled by the scheduler. Since we use the new machine model for other
instructions, it expects a new machine model for these too.

Replace the ill-defined MinLatency and ILPWindow properties with
with straightforward buffer sizes:
MCSchedMode::MicroOpBufferSize
MCProcResourceDesc::BufferSize
These can be used to more precisely model instruction execution if desired.
Disabled some misched tests temporarily. They'll be reenabled in a few commits.

This was an experimental option, but needs to be defined
per-target. e.g. PPC A2 needs to aggressively hide latency.
I converted some in-order scheduling tests to A2. Hal is working on
more test cases.

Expose the processor resources defined by the machine model to the
scheduler and other clients through the TargetSchedule interface.
Normalize each resource count with respect to other kinds of
resources. This allows scheduling heuristics to balance resources
against other kinds of resources and latency.

This replaces an existing subtarget hook on ARM and allows standard
CodeGen passes to potentially use the property.

subtarget CPU descriptions and support new features of
MachineScheduler.
MachineModel has three categories of data:
1) Basic properties for coarse grained instruction cost model.
2) Scheduler Read/Write resources for simple per-opcode and operand cost model (TBD).
3) Instruction itineraties for detailed per-cycle reservation tables.
These will all live side-by-side. Any subtarget can use any
combination of them. Instruction itineraries will not change in the
near term. In the long run, I expect them to only be relevant for
in-order VLIW machines that have complex contraints and require a
precise scheduling/bundling model. Once itineraries are only actively
used by VLIW-ish targets, they could be replaced by something more
appropriate for those targets.
This tablegen backend rewrite sets things up for introducing
MachineModel type #2: per opcode/operand cost model.
