The register form of these instructions are CodeGenOnly instructions that cover
GR32->FR32 and GR64->FR64 bitcasts. There is a similar set of instructions for
the opposite bitcast. Due to the patterns using bitcasts these instructions get
marked as "bitcast" machine instructions as well. The peephole pass is able to
look through these as well as other copies to try to avoid register bank copies.
Because FR32/FR64/VR128 are all coalescable to each other we can end up in a
situation where a GR32->FR32->VR128->FR64->GR64 sequence can be reduced to
GR32->GR64 which the copyPhysReg code can't handle.
To prevent this, this patch removes one set of the 'bitcast' instructions. So
now we can only go GR32->VR128->FR32 or GR64->VR128->FR64. The instruction that
converts from GR32/GR64->VR128 has no special significance to the peephole pass
and won't be looked through.
I guess the other option would be to add support to copyPhysReg to just promote
the GR32->GR64 to a GR64->GR64 copy. The upper bits were basically undefined
anyway. But removing the CodeGenOnly instruction in favor of one that won't be
optimized seemed safer.
I deleted the peephole test because it couldn't be made to work with the bitcast
instructions removed.
The load version of the instructions were unnecessary as the pattern that selects
them contains a bitcasted load which should never happen.
Fixes PR41619.
