MI-Sched: Model "reserved" processor resources.
This allows a target to use MI-Sched as an in-order scheduler that will model strict resource conflicts without defining a processor itinerary. Instead, the target can now use the new per-operand machine model and define in-order resources with BufferSize=0. For example, this would allow restricting the type of operations that can be formed into a dispatch group. (Normally NumMicroOps is sufficient to enforce dispatch groups). If the intent is to model latency in in-order pipeline, as opposed to resource conflicts, then a resource with BufferSize=1 should be defined instead. This feature is only casually tested as there are no in-tree targets using it yet. However, Hal will be experimenting with POWER7. llvm-svn: 196517
