An identity COPY like this:
%AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def>
has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users
of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define
the full register.
Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this
liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this
time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful).

PSHUFB can speed up BITREVERSE of byte vectors by performing LUT on the low/high nibbles separately and ORing the results. Wider integer vector types are already BSWAP'd beforehand so also make use of this approach.

It would be better to check the valid/expected size of the immediate operand, but this is
generally better than what we print right now.

For BITREVERSE, bit shifting/masking every bit in a vector element is a very lengthy procedure.
If the input vector type is a whole multiple of bytes wide then we can split this into a BSWAP shuffle stage (to reverse at the byte level) and then a BITREVERSE stage applied to each byte. Most vector capable targets can efficiently BSWAP using shuffles resulting in a considerable reduction in instructions.
With this patch targets would only need to implement a target specific vXi8 BITREVERSE implementation to efficiently reverse most legal vector types.

This re-applies r268760, reverted in r268794.
Fixes http://llvm.org/PR27670
The original imp-defs assertion was way overzealous: forward all
implicit operands, except imp-defs of the new super-reg def (r268787
for GR64, but also possible for GR16->GR32), or imp-uses of the new
super-reg use.
While there, mark the source use as Undef, and add an imp-use of the
old source reg: that should cover any case of dead super-regs.
At the stage the pass runs, flags are unlikely to matter anyway;
still, let's be as correct as possible.
Also add MIR tests for the various interesting cases.
Original commit message:
Codesize is less (16) or equal (8), and we avoid partial
dependencies.

Some vector bit operations are promoted instead of having custom lowering. This patch changes the isOperationLegalOrCustom tests for vector AND/OR operations to use a new TLI helper isOperationLegalOrCustomOrPromote instead, allowing the SSE implementations to stay on the simd unit.

XOP's VPPERM has some great 'permute operations' that it can do as well as part of shuffling the bytes of a 128-bit vector - in this case we use it to perform BITREVERSE in a single instruction.
