GCC maintainers:
The patch has been updated per the feedback from version 3. Please let me know
it the patch is acceptable for mainline.
Thanks.

rs6000, remove vector set and vector init built-ins
The vector init built-ins:
__builtin_vec_init_v16qi, __builtin_vec_init_v8hi,
__builtin_vec_init_v4si, __builtin_vec_init_v4sf,
__builtin_vec_init_v2di, __builtin_vec_init_v2df,
__builtin_vec_init_v1ti
perform the same operation as initializing the vector in C code. For
example:
result_v4si = __builtin_vec_init_v4si (1, 2, 3, 4);
result_v4si = {1, 2, 3, 4};
These two constructs were tested and verified they generate identical
assembly instructions with no optimization and -O3 optimization.
The vector set built-ins:
__builtin_vec_set_v16qi, __builtin_vec_set_v8hi.
__builtin_vec_set_v4si, __builtin_vec_set_v4sf,
__builtin_vec_set_v1ti, __builtin_vec_set_v2di,
__builtin_vec_set_v2df
perform the same operation as setting a specific element in the vector in
C code. For example:
src_v4si = __builtin_vec_set_v4si (src_v4si, int_val, index);
src_v4si[index] = int_val;
The built-in actually generates more instructions than the inline C code
with no optimization but is identical with -O3 optimizations.
All of the above built-ins that are removed do not have test cases and
are not documented.
Built-ins __builtin_vec_set_v1ti __builtin_vec_set_v2di,
__builtin_vec_set_v2df are not removed as they are used in function
resolve_vec_insert() in file rs6000-c.cc.
The built-ins are removed as they don't provide any benefit over just
using C code.
gcc/ChangeLog:
* config/rs6000/rs6000-builtins.def (__builtin_vec_init_v16qi,
__builtin_vec_init_v4sf, __builtin_vec_init_v4si,
__builtin_vec_init_v8hi, __builtin_vec_init_v1ti,
__builtin_vec_init_v2df, __builtin_vec_init_v2di,
__builtin_vec_set_v16qi, __builtin_vec_set_v4sf,
__builtin_vec_set_v4si, __builtin_vec_set_v8hi): Remove
built-in definitions.
