ISA parser: Use '_' instead of '.' to delimit type modifiers on operands.

By using an underscore, the "." is still available and can unambiguously be
used to refer to members of a structure if an operand is a structure, class,
etc. This change mostly just replaces the appropriate "."s with "_"s, but
there were also a few places where the ISA descriptions where handling the
extensions themselves and had their own regular expressions to update. The
regular expressions in the isa parser were updated as well. It also now
looks for one of the defined type extensions specifically after connecting "_"
where before it would look for any sequence of characters after a "."
following an operand name and try to use it as the extension. This helps to
disambiguate cases where a "_" may legitimately be part of an operand name but
not separate the name from the type suffix.

Because leaving the "_" and suffix on the variable name still leaves a valid
C++ identifier and all extensions need to be consistent in a given context, I
considered leaving them on as a breadcrumb that would show what the intended
type was for that operand. Unfortunately the operands can be referred to in
code templates, the Mem operand in particular, and since the exact type of Mem
can be different for different uses of the same template, that broke things.

ARM: Construct the predicate test register for more instruction programatically.

If one of the condition codes isn't being used in the execution we should only
read it if the instruction might be dependent on it. With the preeceding changes
there are several more cases where we should dynamically pick instead of assuming
as we did before.


# 8303:5a95f1d2494e 13-May-2011 Ali Saidi <Ali.Saidi@ARM.com>

ARM: Further break up condition code into NZ, C, V bits.

Break up the condition code bits into NZ, C, V registers. These are individually
written and this removes some incorrect dependencies between instructions.


# 8302:9f23d01421de 13-May-2011 Ali Saidi <Ali.Saidi@ARM.com>

ARM: Remove the saturating (Q) condition code from the renamed register.

Move the saturating bit (which is also saturating) from the renamed register
that holds the flags to the CPSR miscreg and adds a allows setting it in a
similar way to the FP saturating registers. This removes a dependency in
instructions that don't write, but need to preserve the Q bit.


# 8301:858384f3af1c 13-May-2011 Ali Saidi <Ali.Saidi@ARM.com>

ARM: Break up condition codes into normal flags, saturation, and simd.

This change splits out the condcodes from being one monolithic register
into three blocks that are updated independently. This allows CPUs
to not have to do RMW operations on the flags registers for instructions
that don't write all flags.


# 8206:c3090dc00ddf 04-Apr-2011 William Wang <William.Wang@arm.com>

ARM: Cleanup and small fixes to some NEON ops to match the spec.

Only certain bits of the cpacr can be written, some must be equal.
Mult instructions that write the same register should do something sane


# 7760:e93e7e0caae1 15-Nov-2010 Giacomo Gabrielli <Giacomo.Gabrielli@arm.com>

CPU/ARM: Add SIMD op classes to CPU models and ARM ISA.


# 7422:feddb9077def 02-Jun-2010 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

ARM: Decode to specialized conditional/unconditional versions of instructions.

This is to avoid condition code based dependences from effectively serializing
instructions when the instruction doesn't actually use them.


# 7229:ed81380fd089 02-Jun-2010 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

ARM: Fix signed most significant multiply instructions.


# 7228:09302e193402 02-Jun-2010 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

ARM: Fix multiply overflow flag setting.


# 7196:80c72fc2063b 02-Jun-2010 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

ARM: Fix multiply operations.

These fixes were provided by Ali and fix the saturation condition code and
various multiply instructions.


# 7162:97fe2d298f3e 02-Jun-2010 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

ARM: Remove special naming for the new version of multiply.


# 7160:3f4333b1d4af 02-Jun-2010 Gabe Black <gblack@eecs.umich.edu>

ARM: Implement all integer multiply instructions.
