X87: [x64/ia32] Deal with the non-transitivity of InstructionSelector::CanCover() when folding loads into branches.

    port 0d22e7e46a73bebb1e92768a8443a7b7b101051b (r36482)

    original commit message:
    Sequences like:

    1: Load[kRepWord32|kTypeInt32](<address>, ...)
    2: Word32And(1, <constant>)
    3: Word32Equal(2, <another constant>)
    4: Store[(kRepWord32 : NoWriteBarrier)](<address>, <value>)
    5: Branch[None](3, ...) -> B1, B2

    where #1 and #4 refer to the same memory location, are problematic because in VisitBranch we assume that 'InstructionSelector::CanCover()' is transitive.

    What happens is that CanCover(5, 3) is true (3 is a pure op), and so are CanCover(3, 2), CanCover(2, 1), but the effect level of 5 and 3 never gets checked because 3 is a pure op. Upon VisitBranch, we

    mov [address], <value>
    test [address], <another constant>

    With this patch, it becomes:

    mov reg, [address]
    mov [address], <value>
    test reg, <another constant>

Getting the Code

Checkout depot tools, and run

    fetch v8

This will checkout V8 into the directory v8 and fetch all of its dependencies. To stay up to date, run

    git pull origin
    gclient sync

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote configuration in .git/config:

    fetch = +refs/branch-heads/*:refs/remotes/branch-heads/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
