This patch introduces two instructions lxvl/stvxl and replaces the current lxvd2x/stxvd2x to load and store vectors. Like lxvd2x/stxvd2x, lxvl/stxvl can access unaligned effective addresses with the advantage of *not* requiring xxswapd after lxvd2x (or before stxvd2x) to correct the lanes in little-endian mode.
