[X86] Add custom type legalization for extending v4i8/v4i16->v4i64.
Pre-SSE4.1 sext_invec for v2i64 is complicated because we don't have a v2i64 sra instruction. So instead we sign extend to i32 using unpack and sra, then copy the elements and do a v4i32 sra to fill with sign bits, then interleave the i32 sign extend and the sign bits. So really we're doing to two sign extends but only using half of the v4i32 intermediate result. When the result is more than 128 bits, default type legalization would prefer to split the destination type all the way down to v2i64 with shuffles followed by v16i8/v8i16->v2i64 sext_inreg operations. This results in more instructions than necessary because we are only utilizing the lower 2 elements of the v4i32 intermediate result. Instead we can custom split a v4i8/v4i16->v4i64 sign_extend. Then we can sign extend v4i8/v4i16->v4i32 invec producing a full v4i32 result. Create the sign bit vector as a v4i32 then split and interleave with the sign bits using an punpackldq and punpackhdq. llvm-svn: 347176
