There are a few patterns where we use a superclass for inputs to this
instruction rather than the correct class. This can sometimes lead to
unncessary copies.
If the arch is P8, we will select XFLOAD to load the floating point, and then, expand it to vsx and non-vsx X-form instruction post RA. This patch is trying to convert the X-form to D-form if it meets the requirement that one operand of the x-form inst is the special Zero register, and another operand fed by add inst. i.e.
y = add imm, reg
LFDX. 0, y
-->
LFD imm(reg)

This patch aims to improve the codegen for vector loads involving the
scalar_to_vector (load X) sequence. Initially, ld->mv instructions were used
for scalar_to_vector (load X), so this patch allows scalar_to_vector (load X)
to utilize:
LXSD and LXSDX for i64 and f64
LXSIWAX for i32 (sign extension to i64)
LXSIWZX for i32 and f64
