2017-03-16hipe: Add pseudo_spill_f?move instructionsMagnus Lång
These pseudo instructions are added to all backends and allow spill slot to spill slot move coalescing in a clean way. They have regular move semantics, but contain an additional scratch register to be used if both source and destination are spilled, and can not be move coalesced. Additionally, a register allocator callback Target:is_spill_move(Instr, Context) is added which allows the spill slot allocators to check for these instructions and try to coalesce the spill slots the two temporaries are allocated to.

2016-11-15hipe_rtl_to_x86: Use LEA only for immediate addsMagnus Lång
It seems that most 3-address adds of temps can be move coalesced. Therefore, we limit the behaviour added by 1567585dda8 to only affect immediate adds. Also, add conversion of immediate mov+sub to lea.
2016-11-15hipe_rtl: unify branch and alubMagnus Lång
branch and alub overlap in their use cases, but the backends rely on knowing that the result is unused in their lowering of branch. By extending alub so that the destination is optional, it can fully replace branch. This simplifies rtl by reducing code duplication and the number of instructions. Also, in the x86 and arm backends, we can now use 'test' and {'tst','mvn','teq'} to lower some alubs without destinations. This is particularly good for x86, as sequences such as 'is_boxed' type tests now get shorter (both from not needing a mov to copy the variable, but also from the fact that 'testb' encodes shorter than 'andq').
