patch to implement aliases
The mfppr and mtppr instruction aliases are not implemented in LLVM, but they
are in GCC and xlC. m[ft]ppr32 and quite a number of other m[tf]spr aliases are
also not implemented in LLVM.
I stumbled across this when trying to use the `_mm_pause` function
`clang/lib/Headers/ppc_wrappers/xmmintrin.h`, which uses these instructions in
its implementation.
The attached patch adds the instructions. AFAICT, the PPR was introduced in
POWER6, so this patch checks for that, although it seems like a bit much just
to implement an instruction alias.
Another option would be to just change the implementation in `xmmintrin.h` to
use `mfspr Rx,896`. Thoughts?
