        <pre>InstCombine transforms sqrt(x * x * x) into fabs(x) * sqrt(x) under fast math.

This means (1 / sqrt(x*x*x)) becomes (1 / (fabs(x) * sqrt(x))) which the
backend is unable to match to reciprocal sqrt approximation. Instead we do a
square root approximation which uses rsqrt followed by a regular divide.

Ideally we'd just do the x*x*x and then approximate the reciprocal square root
of that.
