This is much closer to an acceptable patch.

You still haven't addressed my concern about using the fpmath metadata
(http://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#fpmath-metadata) to drive this
instead of a command-line option.

The special-case for 1.0/sqrt(x) (as opposed to y/sqrt(x)) appears to
be unnecessary.  Also, I'm a bit concerned that if the DAGCombine
visits the FSQRT before the FDIV, we'll end up with weird sequences
like 1.0/(x*rsqrt(x)).

The indentation of the code appears weird in a few places.

Please include regression tests.
