X86: optimized i64 vector multiply with constant
When we multiply two 64-bit vectors, we extract lower and upper part and use the PMULUDQ instruction. When one of the operands is a constant, the upper part may be zero, we know this at compile time. Example: %a = mul <4 x i64> %b, <4 x i64> < i64 5, i64 5, i64 5, i64 5>. I'm checking the value of the upper part and prevent redundant "multiply", "shift" and "add" operations. llvm-svn: 239802
