[LLVMdev] SIMD for sdiv <2 x i64>

Thanks for your help, Philip. The shufflevector could be replaced with
insertelement, but I think that shouldn't improve the performance much. I
think shufflevector would generate a broadcast or a movlhps/d instruction.
The performance bottleneck here is because AVX2 doesn't have a SIMD
division for integers. It needs to puck and unpack the vector register and
use many shift instructions. It also might use two int division
instructions.

Thanks,
Zhi
