Use virtual base registers on PPC
On PowerPC, non-vector loads and stores have r+i forms; however, in functions with large stack frames these were not being used to access slots far from the stack pointer because such slots were out of range for the signed 16-bit immediate offset field. This increases register pressure because we need a separate register for each offset (when the r+r form is used). By enabling virtual base registers, we can deal with large stack frames without unduly increasing register pressure. llvm-svn: 179105
