[PATCH] Improve DAG combine pass on certain IR vector patterns

[Chandler Carruth]

Cool, this looks good to me provided your data indicates this pattern works
well on other targets as well. =]

Thanks for working on it! Any chance you can also look at the fact that we
use vmovq here rather than vmovlpd?

We also at some point need to do a post-processing of the shuffles and
replace ones that use packed double type when there is an equivalent for
packed single type and it removes a bitcast.... It would be really awesome
to get the "obvious" code of vmovlps + vmovhps here (or some variant of
vmovlps that still targeted the floating point vector unit and didn't have
an input dependency... mayb vxorps + vmovlps + vmovhps would be best)
