Use direct types in most PowerPC Altivec instructions and patterns.
This follows up Ulrich Weigand's work in PPCInstrInfo.td and PPCInstr64Bit.td by doing the corresponding work for most of the Altivec patterns. I have not been able to do anything for the following classes of instructions: (1) Vector logicals. These don't have corresponding intrinsics and don't have a single obvious vector type. So far as I can tell I need to leave these as VRRC. Affected instructions are: VAND, VANDC, VNOR, VOR, VXOR, V_SET0. (2) Instructions that make use of vector shuffle. The selection code promotes all shuffles to v16i8, so any pattern that matches on a shuffle is constrained. I haven't found any way to make the patterns match on their natural types, so I plan to leave these as VRRC. Affected instructions are: VMRG*, VSPLTB, VSPLTH, VSPLTW, VPKUHUM, VPKUWUM. No change in behavior is anticipated. llvm-svn: 178277
