[PATCH] DAGCombiner: Fold pointless truncate, bitcast, buildvector series

[Arnold Schwaighofer]

For example (2xi32) (truncate ((2xi64) bitcast (buildvector i32 a, i32 x, i32 b, i32 y)))
can be folded into a (2xi32) (buildvector i32 a, i32 b).

Such a DAG would cause uneccessary vdup instructions followed by vmovn
instructions on ARM.

We legalize to such a DAG on ARM NEON for a setcc olt, 2xf64, 2xf64. For example, in
the vectorized version of the code below.

double A[N];
double B[N];

void test_double_compare_to_double() {
  int i;
  for(i=0;i<N;i++)
    A[i] = (double)(A[i] < B[i]);
}
