Loads and stores can have different pipeline behavior, especially on
embedded chips. This change allows those differences to be expressed.
Except for the 440 scheduler, there are no functionality changes.
On the 440, the latency adjustment is only by one cycle, and so this
probably does not affect much. Nevertheless, it will make a larger
difference in the future and this removes a FIXME from the 440 itin.

Dynamic linking on PPC64 has had problems since we had to move the top-down
hazard-detection logic post-ra. For dynamic linking to work there needs to be
a nop placed after every call. It turns out that it is really hard to guarantee
that nothing will be placed in between the call (bl) and the nop during post-ra
scheduling. Previous attempts at fixing this by placing logic inside the
hazard detector only partially worked.
This is now fixed in a different way: call+nop codegen-only instructions. As far
as CodeGen is concerned the pair is now a single instruction and cannot be split.
This solution works much better than previous attempts.
The scoreboard hazard detector is also renamed to be more generic, there is currently
no cpu-specific logic in it.

The PPC64 SVR4 ABI requires integer stack arguments, and thus the var. args., that
are smaller than 64 bits be zero extended to 64 bits.

the processor keeps a return addresses stack (RAS) which stores the address
and the instruction execution state of the instruction after a function-call
type branch instruction.
Calling a "noreturn" function with normal call instructions (e.g. bl) can
corrupt RAS and causes 100% return misprediction so LLVM should use a
unconditional branch instead. i.e.
mov lr, pc
b _foo
The "mov lr, pc" is issued in order to get proper backtrace.

Reverting this because it breaks static linking on ppc64. Specifically, it may be linkonce_odr functions that are the problem.
With this patch, if you link statically, calls to some functions end up calling their descriptor addresses instead
of calling to their entry points. This causes the execution to fail with SIGILL (b/c the descriptor address just
has some pointers, not code).

The standard function epilog includes a .size directive, but ppc64 uses
an alternate local symbol to tag the actual start of each function.
Until recently, binutils accepted the .size directive as:
.size test1, .Ltmp0-test1
however, using this directive with recent binutils will result in the error:
.size expression for XXX does not evaluate to a constant
so we must use the label which actually tags the start of the function.

Passes prior to instructon selection are now split into separate configurable stages.
Header dependencies are simplified.
The bulk of this diff is simply removal of the silly DisableVerify flags.
Sorry for the target header churn. Attempting to stabilize them.

Allows command line overrides to be centralized in LLVMTargetMachine.cpp.
LLVMTargetMachine can intercept common passes and give precedence to command line overrides.
Allows adding "internal" target configuration options without touching TargetOptions.
Encapsulates the PassManager.
Provides a good point to initialize all CodeGen passes so that Pass ID's can be used in APIs.
Allows modifying the target configuration hooks without rebuilding the world.

1. The ST*UX instructions that store and update the stack pointer did not set define/kill on R1. This became a problem when I activated post-RA scheduling (and had incorrectly adjusted the Frames-large test).
2. eliminateFrameIndex did not kill its scavenged temporary register, and this could cause the scavenger to exhaust all available registers (and its emergency spill slot) when there were a lot of CR values to spill. The 2010-02-12-saveCR test has been adjusted to check for this.

undefined result. This adds new ISD nodes for the new semantics,
selecting them when the LLVM intrinsic indicates that the undef behavior
is desired. The new nodes expand trivially to the old nodes, so targets
don't actually need to do anything to support these new nodes besides
indicating that they should be expanded. I've done this for all the
operand types that I could figure out for all the targets. Owners of
various targets, please review and let me know if any of these are
incorrect.
Note that the expand behavior is *conservatively correct*, and exactly
matches LLVM's current behavior with these operations. Ideally this
patch will not change behavior in any way. For example the regtest suite
finds the exact same instruction sequences coming out of the code
generator. That's why there are no new tests here -- all of this is
being exercised by the existing test suite.
Thanks to Duncan Sands for reviewing the various bits of this patch and
helping me get the wrinkles ironed out with expanding for each target.
Also thanks to Chris for clarifying through all the discussions that
this is indeed the approach he was looking for. That said, there are
likely still rough spots. Further review much appreciated.

subdirectories to traverse into.
- Originally I wanted to avoid this and just autoscan, but this has one key
flaw in that new subdirectories can not automatically trigger a rerun of the
llvm-build tool. This is particularly a pain when switching back and forth
between trees where one has added a subdirectory, as the dependencies will
tend to be wrong. This will also eliminates FIXME implicitly.
