    rs6000: Disable mode promotion for pseudos
    
    rs6000 has instructions that can do almost everything 32 bit
    at least as efficiently as corresponding 64 bit things. The
    mode promotion can be defered to when a wide mode is necessary.
    So it helps a lot not promote mode for pseudos. SPECint test
    shows that the overall performance improvement (by geomean) is
    more than 2% with this patch.
    
    testsuite/gcc.target/powerpc/not-promote-mode.c illustrates how
    the patch eliminates the redundant extensions and do further
    optimization by disabling mode promotion for pseduos.
