PR target/117251:

 * https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2025-June/686474.html

This is patch #9 of 45 to generate the 'XXEVAL' instruction on power10 and
power11 instead of using the Altivec 'VNAND' instruction feeding into 'VAND'.
The 'XXEVAL' instruction can use all 64 vector registers, instead of the 32
registers that traditional Altivec vector instructions use.  By allowing all of
the vector registers to be used, it reduces the amount of spilling that a large
benchmark generated.

Currently the following code:

        vector int a, b, c, d;
        a = (~ (c & d)) & b;

Generates:

        vnand  t,c,d
        vand   a,t,b

Now in addition with this patch, if the arguments or result is allocated to a
traditional FPR register, the GCC compiler will now generate the following
code instead of adding vector move instructions:

        xxeval a,b,c,14

Since fusion using 2 Altivec instructions is slightly faster than using the
'XXEVAL' instruction we prefer to generate the Altivec instructions if we can.
In addition, because 'XXEVAL' is a prefixed instruction, it possibly might
generate an extra NOP instruction to align the 'XXEVAL' instruction.

I have tested these patches on both big endian and little endian PowerPC
servers, with no regressions.  Can I check these patchs into the trunk?
