The lowering for v2i64 is now guarded with hasDirectMove,
however, the current lowering can handle the pattern correctly,
only lowering it when there is efficient patterns and corresponding
instructions.
The original guard was added in D21135, and was for Legal action.
The code has evloved now, this guard is not necessary anymore.

We will emit these permuted nodes on all VSX little endian subtargets
but don't have the patterns available to match them on subtargets
that don't have direct moves.
Fixes: https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47916
We currently miss a number of opportunities to emit single-instruction
VMRG[LH][BHW] instructions for shuffles on little endian subtargets. Although
this in itself is not a huge performance opportunity since loading the permute
vector for a VPERM can always be pulled out of loops, producing such merge
instructions is useful to downstream optimizations.
Since VPERM is essentially opaque to all subsequent optimizations, we want to
avoid it as much as possible. Other permute instructions have semantics that can
be reasoned about much more easily in later optimizations.
This patch does the following:
- Canonicalize shuffles so that the first element comes from the first vector
(since that's what most of the mask matching functions want)
- Switch the elements that come from splat vectors so that they match the
corresponding elements from the other vector (to allow for merges)
- Adds debugging messages for when a shuffle is matched to a VPERM so that
anyone interested in improving this further can get the info for their code

Summary:
When doing the conversion: MachineInst -> MCInst, we should ignore the
implicit operands, it will expose more opportunity for InstiAlias.

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.
We currently produce a load, followed by (possibly a move for integers and) a
splat as separate instructions. VSX has always had a splatting load for
doublewords, but as of Power9, we have it for words as well. This patch just
exploits these instructions.
