[x86] Make the 'x86-64' cpu, what I see as and many use as the generic
default architecture for reasonable modern x86 processors, actually be modern. This processor model should essentially be "tuned" for modern x86 chips as much as possible without undue penalties on any specific architecture. Previously we weren't even using the nice scheduling models. There are a few other tweaks needed here, but this change at least I have benchmarked across a decent swatch of chips (intel's clovertown, westmere, and sandybridge; amd's istanbul) and seen no significant regressions. If anyone has suggested ways to test this, just let me know. Somewhat alarmingly, no existing tests failed. llvm-svn: 208230
