Massive check in. This changes the "-fast" flag to "-O#" in llc. If you want to
use the old behavior, the flag is -O0. This change allows for finer-grained
control over which optimizations are run at different -O levels.
Most of this work was pretty mechanical. The majority of the fixes came from
verifying that a "fast" variable wasn't used anymore. The JIT still uses a
"Fast" flag. I'll change the JIT with a follow-up patch.

ISD::VECTOR_SHUFFLE now stores an array of integers representing the shuffle
mask internal to the node, rather than taking a BUILD_VECTOR of ConstantSDNodes
as the shuffle mask. A value of -1 represents UNDEF.
In addition to eliminating the creation of illegal BUILD_VECTORS just to
represent shuffle masks, we are better about canonicalizing the shuffle mask,
resulting in substantially better code for some classes of shuffles.

A clean up of x86 shuffle code, and some canonicalizing in DAGCombiner is next.

and extern_weak_odr. These are the same as the non-odr versions,
except that they indicate that the global will only be overridden
by an *equivalent* global. In C, a function with weak linkage can
be overridden by a function which behaves completely differently.
This means that IP passes have to skip weak functions, since any
deductions made from the function definition might be wrong, since
the definition could be replaced by something completely different
at link time. This is not allowed in C++, thanks to the ODR
(One-Definition-Rule): if a function is replaced by another at
link-time, then the new function must be the same as the original
function. If a language knows that a function or other global can
only be overridden by an equivalent global, it can give it the
weak_odr linkage type, and the optimizers will understand that it
is alright to make deductions based on the function body. The
code generators on the other hand map weak and weak_odr linkage
to the same thing.

a minimum for the splat element size. Update the PPC target to use the
revised interface.

them are generic changes.
- Use the "fast" flag that's already being passed into the asm printers instead
of shoving it into the DwarfWriter.
- Instead of calling "MI->getParent()->getParent()" for every MI, set the
machine function when calling "runOnMachineFunction" in the asm printers.

instruction. The class also consolidates the code for detecting constant
splats that's shared across PowerPC and the CellSPU backends (and might be
useful for other backends.) Also introduces SelectionDAG::getBUID_VECTOR() for
generating new BUILD_VECTOR nodes.

does this automagically, as well as expand tabs to spaces and look for 80-col
violations.)

suprise to some callers, e.g. register coalescer. For now, add an parameter
that tells AnalyzeBranch whether it's safe to modify the mbb. A better
solution is out there, but I don't have time to deal with it right now.

Many targets build placeholder nodes for special operands, e.g.
GlobalBaseReg on X86 and PPC for the PIC base. There's no
sensible way to associate debug info with these. I've left
them built with getNode calls with explicit DebugLoc::getUnknownLoc operands.
I'm not too happy about this but don't see a good improvement;
I considered adding a getPseudoOperand or something, but it
seems to me that'll just make it harder to read.
