Fix dynamic linking on PPC64.
Dynamic linking on PPC64 has had problems since we had to move the top-down
hazard-detection logic post-ra. For dynamic linking to work there needs to be
a nop placed after every call. It turns out that it is really hard to guarantee
that nothing will be placed in between the call (bl) and the nop during post-ra
scheduling. Previous attempts at fixing this by placing logic inside the
hazard detector only partially worked.
This is now fixed in a different way: call+nop codegen-only instructions. As far
as CodeGen is concerned the pair is now a single instruction and cannot be split.
This solution works much better than previous attempts.
The scoreboard hazard detector is also renamed to be more generic, there is currently
no cpu-specific logic in it.
