[PATCH] [x86] Make vector legalization of extloads work more like the "normal" vector operation legalization with support for custom target lowering and fallback to expand when it fails, and use this to implement sext and anyext load lowering for x86 in a...

I think that an assert would be helpful here, something like:
assert(Result.getValue(1).use_empty() && "Custom lowering did not kill chain dependencies on the load?");

I would quickly note what this canonical form is, "... the canonical form of sextload, where it is folded with any sex/sext_in_reg users, to persist..." (or whatever is actually correct).
