Summary:
D65884 added a set of Arm IR intrinsics for the MVE VCTP instruction,
to use in tail predication. But the 64-bit one doesn't work properly:
its predicate type is `<2 x i1>` / `v2i1`, which isn't a legal MVE
type (due to not having a full set of instructions that manipulate it
usefully). The test of `vctp64` in `basic-tail-pred.ll` goes through
`opt` fine, as the test expects, but if you then feed it to `llc` it
causes a type legality failure at isel time.
The usual workaround we've been using in the rest of the MVE
intrinsics family is to bodge `v2i1` into `v4i1`. So I've adjusted the
`vctp64` IR intrinsic to do that, and completely removed the code (and
test) that uses that intrinsic for 64-bit tail predication. That will
allow me to add isel rules (upcoming in D70485) that actually generate
the VCTP64 instruction.
Also renamed all four of these IR intrinsics so that they have `mve`
in the name, since its absence was confusing.

The VCTP instruction will calculate the predicate masked based upon
the number of elements that need to be processed. I had inserted the
sub before the vctp intrinsic and supplied it as the operand, but
this is incorrect as the phi should directly feed the vctp. The sub
is calculating the value for the next iteration.

The MVE and LOB extensions of Armv8.1m can be combined to enable
'tail predication' which removes the need for a scalar remainder
loop after vectorization. Lane predication is performed implicitly
via a system register. The effects of predication is described in
Section B5.6.3 of the Armv8.1-m Arch Reference Manual, the key points
being:
- For vector operations that perform reduction across the vector and
produce a scalar result, whether the value is accumulated or not.
- For non-load instructions, the predicate flags determine if the
destination register byte is updated with the new value or if the
previous value is preserved.
- For vector store instructions, whether the store occurs or not.
- For vector load instructions, whether the value that is loaded or
whether zeros are written to that element of the destination
register.
This patch implements a pass that takes a hardware loop, containing
masked vector instructions, and converts it something that resembles
an MVE tail predicated loop. Currently, if we had code generation,
we'd generate a loop in which the VCTP would generate the predicate
and VPST would then setup the value of VPR.PO. The loads and stores
would be placed in VPT blocks so this is not tail predication, but
normal VPT predication with the predicate based upon a element
counting induction variable. Further work needs to be done to finally
produce a true tail predicated loop.
Because only the loads and stores are predicated, in both the LLVM IR
and MIR level, we will restrict support to only lane-wise operations
(no horizontal reductions). We will perform a final check on MIR
during loop finalisation too.
Another restriction, specific to MVE, is that all the vector
instructions need operate on the same number of elements. This is
because predication is performed at the byte level and this is set
on entry to the loop, or by the VCTP instead.
