webrev for HSAIL backend Math intrinsics support

[Doug Simon]

I’ve integrated this patch and am pushing it through now.

Apart from some cosmetic touch ups, I also made the node intrinsics in HSAILMathSubstitutions native. This is the best way to keep the Java compiler happy while failing fast should those methods ever be interpreted as a result of deoptimization.
