As discussed on https://reviews.llvm.org/D59744, we currently have no way to
automatically separate MMX and x87 instructions - we rely on manual insertion
of _mm_empty() (EMMS) intrinsics.

Ideally we need something like the X86VZeroUpper pass which can recognise when
MMX/X87 instructions have been used, insert EMMS/FEMMS instructions where
appropriate and ensure that MMX/X87 ops don't cross the barrier (see Bug
#35982).

Given the high cost of EMMS, we may want to make this pass opt-in - for example
only enable it by default for the i386 ABI change (see Bug #41029).
