BasicTTI::getCastInstrCost() assumes that they're free, which is probably
so that it returns something that doesn't break the cost model.

I can see the X86 table in X86TTI::getCastInstrCost(), are you expecting
something similar? I shall investigate all possible combinations and try to
build a similar model.

That also means we should re-using the X86TypeConversionCostTblEntry as a
more generic structure?
