Potential fix

The changes in revision 112804 and 112806 prevent the 64-bit UNPCKLBW and
UNPCKHBW instructions from getting selected (and potentially other varieties as
well). Test case:

shufflevector <8 x i8> %v1, <8 x i8> %v1, <8 x i32> <i32 0, i32 8, i32 1, i32
9, i32 2, i32 10, i32 3, i32 11>

Instead of generating an MMX instruction this becomes an unoptimized bunch of
byte moves. The attached patch should fix the problem.

The bug originates from the assumption around line 5305 in X86ISelLowering.cpp
that when OptForSize is false the PSHUFD is available. This is only true for
v4i32 and v4f32 formats, so not for MMX in particular.
