Add a feature flag for slow 32-byte unaligned memory accesses [x86].
This patch adds a feature flag to avoid unaligned 32-byte load/store AVX codegen for Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge. There is no functionality change intended for those chips. Previously, the absence of AVX2 was being used as a proxy to detect this feature. But that hindered codegen for AVX-enabled AMD chips such as btver2 that do not have the 32-byte unaligned access slowdown. Performance measurements are included in PR21541 ( http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21541 ). Differential Revision: http://reviews.llvm.org/D6355 llvm-svn: 222544
