Summary

This patch is part of a series implementing the Bfloat16 extension of the Armv8.6-a architecture, as detailed here:

https://community.arm.com/developer/ip-products/processors/b/processors-ip-blog/posts/arm-architecture-developments-armv8-6-a

Specifically it adds intrinsic support in clang and llvm for Arm and AArch64.

The bfloat type, and its properties are specified in the Arm Architecture Reference Manual:

A few nits, it looks largely uncontroversial but I'll let someone else give the ok since an external eye is always good :)

I always wondered why we need special treatment for cvt intrinsics here, is there a better place to put this?

These files are very small, it's almost not worth having them on their own, can you merge them into 1 file unless we need 2 for a specific reason

Why does it return MVT::v4i16, not MVT::v4bf16?

I only see this being used for f32 -> bf16 conversion, so could this have concrete types, instead of llvm_anyvector_ty?

If we were to refactor this, it should be done in a separate patch.
