> We can use the compare-with-zero instructions like cmgt(zero)[1] immediately to avoid the extra scalar2vector operations.
> 
> The following instruction sequence
> 
> movi  v16.4s, #0x0
> cmgt  v16.4s, v17.4s, v16.4s
> 
> can be optimized to:
> 
> cmgt v16.4s, v17.4s, #0x0
> 
> This patch does the following:
> 1. Add NEON floating-point compare-with-zero instructions.
> 2. Add optimized match rules to generate the compare-with-zero instructions.

Chang Peng has updated the pull request incrementally with two additional commits since the last revision:

 - Remove some switch-case stmts in c2_MacroAssembler_aarch64.cpp and avoid
   unsigned comparison.
 - Revert "Remove switch-case stmts in c2_MacroAssembler_aarch64.cpp"
   
   This reverts commit d899238d0cb98fdf375b3011670495c3bfe8bbaf.
