This patch adds support for the following new instructions in the
Power ISA 2.07:

  vpksdss
  vpksdus
  vpkudus
  vpkudum
  vupkhsw
  vupklsw

These instructions are available through the vec_packs, vec_packsu,
vec_unpackh, and vec_unpackl built-in interfaces.  These are
lane-sensitive instructions, so the built-ins have different
implementations for big- and little-endian, and the instructions must
be marked as killing the vector swap optimization for now.

The first three instructions perform saturating pack operations.  The
fourth performs a modulo pack operation, which means it can be
represented with a vector shuffle, and conversely the appropriate
vector shuffles may cause this instruction to be generated.  The other
instructions are only generated via built-in support for now.

I noticed during patch preparation that the macro __VSX__ was not
previously predefined when the power8-vector or direct-move features
are requested.  This is an error, and I've corrected that here as
well.

Appropriate tests have been added.

There is a companion patch to llvm for the rest of this support.

//===----------------------------------------------------------------------===//

Welcome to Clang.  This is a compiler front-end for the C family of languages
(C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++) which is built as part of the LLVM
compiler infrastructure project.

Unlike many other compiler frontends, Clang is useful for a number of things
beyond just compiling code: we intend for Clang to be host to a number of
different source-level tools.  One example of this is the Clang Static Analyzer.

If you're interested in more (including how to build Clang) it is best to read
the relevant web sites.  Here are some pointers:
