Well, that's a rat's nest.  I backed up and thought maybe I have the metadata 
syntax wrong.

So I tried a bunch of things:

%r8 = load <2 x double>* %r6, align 16, metadata !"nontemporal"
%r8 = load <2 x double>* %r6, align 16, metadata !nontemporal
%r8 = load <2 x double>* %r6, align 16, !{ metadata !"nontemporal" }
%r8 = load <2 x double>* %r6, align 16, !{ metadata !nontemporal }
%r8 = load <2 x double>* %r6, align 16, !{ !"nontemporal" }
%r8 = load <2 x double>* %r6, align 16, !{ !nontemporal }

I give up!  What is the syntax for attaching metadata to instructions?  The
documentation is very unclear.
