[PATCH] D67266: [X86][NFC] Add a `use-aa` feature.

[Clement Courbet via Phabricator via llvm-commits]

courbet created this revision.
courbet added reviewers: RKSimon, andreadb, craig.topper.
Herald added subscribers: ychen, hiraditya, kristof.beyls, javed.absar.
Herald added a project: LLVM.

This allows enabling useaa on the command-line and will allow enabling the
feature on a per-CPU basis where benchmarking shows improvements.

This is modelled after the ARM/AArch64 target.
