Ulrich Weigand 0c57babfc6 [PowerPC] Simplify and improve loading into TOC register
During an indirect function call sequence on the 64-bit SVR4 ABI,
generate code must load and then restore the TOC register.

This does not use a regular LOAD instruction since the TOC
register r2 is marked as reserved.  Instead, the are two
special instruction patterns:

 let RST = 2, DS = 2 in
 def LDinto_toc: DSForm_1a<58, 0, (outs), (ins g8rc:$reg),
                     "ld 2, 8($reg)", IIC_LdStLD,
                     [(PPCload_toc i64:$reg)]>, isPPC64;
 
 let RST = 2, DS = 10, RA = 1 in
 def LDtoc_restore : DSForm_1a<58, 0, (outs), (ins),
                     "ld 2, 40(1)", IIC_LdStLD,
                     [(PPCtoc_restore)]>, isPPC64;

Note that these not only restrict the destination of the
load to r2, but they also restrict the *source* of the
load to particular address combinations.  The latter is
a problem when we want to support the ELFv2 ABI, since
there the TOC save slot is no longer at 40(1).

This patch replaces those two instructions with a single
instruction pattern that only hard-codes r2 as destination,
but supports generic addresses as source.  This will allow
supporting the ELFv2 ABI, and also helps generate more
efficient code for calls to absolute addresses (allowing
simplification of the ppc64-calls.ll test case).
