Chris Lattner 9dc4d3cbac Nate noticed that 30% of the malloc/frees in llc come from calls to LowercaseString
in the asmprinter.  This changes the .td files to use lower case register names,
avoiding the need to do this call.  This speeds up the asmprinter from 1.52s
to 1.06s on kc++ in a release build.

TODO:
* gpr0 allocation
* implement do-loop -> bdnz transform
* implement powerpc-64 for darwin
* use stfiwx in float->int
* be able to combine sequences like the following into 2 instructions:
	lis r2, ha16(l2__ZTV4Cell)
	la r2, lo16(l2__ZTV4Cell)(r2)
	addi r2, r2, 8

* Teach LLVM how to codegen this:
unsigned short foo(float a) { return a; }
as:
_foo:
        fctiwz f0,f1
        stfd f0,-8(r1)
        lhz r3,-2(r1)
        blr
not:
_foo:
        fctiwz f0, f1
        stfd f0, -8(r1)
        lwz r2, -4(r1)
        rlwinm r3, r2, 0, 16, 31
        blr


* Support 'update' load/store instructions.  These are cracked on the G5, but
  are still a codesize win.

* Add a custom legalizer for the GlobalAddress node, to move the funky darwin
  stub stuff from the instruction selector to the legalizer (exposing low-level
  operations to the dag for optzn.  For example, we want to codegen this:

        int A = 0;
        void B() { A++; }
  as:
        lis r9,ha16(_A)
        lwz r2,lo16(_A)(r9)
        addi r2,r2,1
        stw r2,lo16(_A)(r9)
  not:
        lis r2, ha16(_A)
        lwz r2, lo16(_A)(r2)
        addi r2, r2, 1
        lis r3, ha16(_A)
        stw r2, lo16(_A)(r3)

* should hint to the branch select pass that it doesn't need to print the
  second unconditional branch, so we don't end up with things like:
	b .LBBl42__2E_expand_function_8_674	; loopentry.24
	b .LBBl42__2E_expand_function_8_42	; NewDefault
	b .LBBl42__2E_expand_function_8_42	; NewDefault
