Chris Lattner 11d53c129f rearrange MCContext ownership. Before LLVMTargetMachine created it
and passing off ownership to AsmPrinter.  Now MachineModuleInfo
creates it and owns it by value.  This allows us to use MCSymbols
more consistently throughout the rest of the code generator, and
simplifies a bit of code.  This also allows MachineFunction to 
keep an MCContext reference handy, and cleans up the TargetRegistry
interfaces for AsmPrinters.

***

add gcc builtins for alpha instructions


***

custom expand byteswap into nifty 
extract/insert/mask byte/word/longword/quadword low/high
sequences

***

see if any of the extract/insert/mask operations can be added

***

match more interesting things for cmovlbc cmovlbs (move if low bit clear/set)

***

lower srem and urem

remq(i,j):  i - (j * divq(i,j)) if j != 0
remqu(i,j): i - (j * divqu(i,j)) if j != 0
reml(i,j):  i - (j * divl(i,j)) if j != 0
remlu(i,j): i - (j * divlu(i,j)) if j != 0

***

add crazy vector instructions (MVI):

(MIN|MAX)(U|S)(B8|W4) min and max, signed and unsigned, byte and word
PKWB, UNPKBW pack/unpack word to byte
PKLB UNPKBL pack/unpack long to byte
PERR pixel error (sum accross bytes of bytewise abs(i8v8 a - i8v8 b))

cmpbytes bytewise cmpeq of i8v8 a and i8v8 b (not part of MVI extentions)

this has some good examples for other operations that can be synthesised well 
from these rather meager vector ops (such as saturating add).
