This takes the two independent VSXT{U}N{2,} operations and merges them
in to a single IR operations.
In some cases this can result in a more optimal implementation since
there is no need for moves inbetween.
VRev32 matches Arm64 semantics directly.
LoadNamedVectorConstant allows FEX to quickly load "named constants".
This will allow us to have specific hardcoded vector constant values
that we can load with a ldr(State)+ldr(Value) and will be more abused in
the future.
This also allows us to do a very simple optimization in the future where
we can optimize away redundant loads of these loads if they are used
multiple times in the same block. (Not implemented here).
This matches x86 vector shift behaviour closely for ps{rl,ra,ll}{w,d,q}
where the vector is shifted by a scalar value that is 64-bits wide.
Anything larger than the element size will set that element to zero.
With SVE we have some new wide element shifts that match this behaviour
exactly (except supports wide shift sources rather than scalar).
This is a significant improvement even on platforms that only support
128-bit SVE.
This is a bit of tricky operation where due to our our usage of SSA, the
incoming source isn't guaranteed to end its live-range at this
instruction.
This gives us a behaviour where to be optimal we need to take different
paths depending on if the incoming address register is the same as the
destination node.
Once we have form of RA constraints or non-SSA IR form that can
guarantee this restriction then this will go away.
Due to Intel dropping support for legacy segment registers[1] there is a
concern that this will break legacy 32-bit software that is doing some
magic segment register handling.
Adds some simple telemetry for 32-bit applications that when they
encounter an instruction that sets the segment register or uses a
segment register that the JIT will do a /relatively/ quick four
instruction check to see if it is not a null segment.
It's not enough to just check if the segment index is 0 or not, 32-bit
Linux software starts with non-zero segment register indexes but the LDT
for each segment index is a null-descriptor.
Once the segment address is loaded, the IR operation will do a quick
check against zero and if it /isn't/ zero then set the telemetry value.
A very minor optimization that segment registers only get checked once
per block to ensure overhead stays low.

- 3.6 - Restricted Subset of Segmentation
- `Bases are supported for FS, GS, GDT, IDT, LDT, and TSS
registers; the base for CS, DS, ES, and SS is ignored for 32-bit
mode, same as 64-bit mode (treated as zero).`
- 4.2.17 - MOV to Segment Register
- Will fault if SS is written (Breaking anything that writes to
SS).
- Will not fault if CS, DS, ES are written (Thus it sets the
segment but gets ignored due to 3.6).
It is not an external component, and it makes paths needlessly long.
Ryan seemed amenable to this when we discussed on IRC earlier.
