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
