    Massive rewrite of MMX: · dd224d23
    Dale Johannesen authored
    The x86_mmx type is used for MMX intrinsics, parameters and
    return values where these use MMX registers, and is also
    supported in load, store, and bitcast.
    
    Only the above operations generate MMX instructions, and optimizations
    do not operate on or produce MMX intrinsics. 
    
    MMX-sized vectors <2 x i32> etc. are lowered to XMM or split into
    smaller pieces.  Optimizations may occur on these forms and the
    result casted back to x86_mmx, provided the result feeds into a
    previous existing x86_mmx operation.
    
    The point of all this is prevent optimizations from introducing
    MMX operations, which is unsafe due to the EMMS problem.
