[PATCH i386] Allow cltd/cqto etc on modern CPUs

[Xinliang David Li]

Compiling the following code with O2

typedef unsigned long ulong;
typedef __SIZE_TYPE__ size_t;
long woo_i(long a, long b) { return a/b; }

GCC generates:

.LFB0:
        .cfi_startproc
        movq    %rdi, %rdx
        movq    %rdi, %rax
        sarq    $63, %rdx
        idivq   %rsi
        ret

but both ICC and LLVM generate smaller and faster version:

        movq      %rdi, %rax
        cqto
        idivq     %rsi
        ret

for reference see
http://www.agner.org/optimize/instruction_tables.pdf.  On Pentium, the
latency of the instruction is 3 cycles while on modern CPUs, the
instruction has only one uOp with 1 cycle latency.

The following proposed patch fixed the problem. Note that for Atom,
only the CWD instruction is slow with 5 cycle latency, the rest sign
extension instructions are fast -- the fix for Atom needs finer grain
control and can be done separately.

Ok to install after testing?
