This pull request implements patterns to exploit the load rightmost vector
element instructions for loading element 0 on little endian PowerPC subtargets
into v8i16 and v16i8 vector registers for i16 and i8 data types.

3972 | The patterns appear to be the same. Why do we split this out into LE/BE if the patterns are endianness neutral? If they are the same, merge them into a single block that doesn't have an endianness predicate. |
