RFR(L): Vector API Compare Intrinsics

[Lupusoru, Razvan A]

Vivek,
Sounds good - I fixes as you recommended. I will push the change in a minute.

Paul,
The tests need to be updated to fit into your data provider technique. Let me know if you want me to do it or if you're doing it as part of your change. Thanks!

Hi Razvan

Looks good to me.
Just one suggestion is to use existing vxorpd with AddressLiteral as one of the argument with little modification to use your scratch register.

Regards,
Vivek

Hi everyone,

Rahul and I have implemented all the code sequences for compares (<,>,<=,>=,==,!=) for all vector types and sizes. Please take a look at the patch:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rlupusoru/panama/webrev_veccompares_04/

Please note that I also added the necessary tests to exercise this functionality. Likely they can be cleaned up once the infrastructure has a template for using data providers.

Thanks,
Razvan
