JDK-7119644 - Increase superword's vector size up to 256 bits
Description
Several vector jtreg tests timeout on SPARC with 32-bit VM:

compiler/7119644/TestByteFloatVect.java   Error. Program `java' interrupted! (timed out?)
compiler/7119644/TestByteIntVect.java     Error. Program `java' interrupted! (timed out?)
compiler/7119644/TestShortFloatVect.java  Error. Program `java' interrupted! (timed out?)
compiler/7119644/TestShortIntVect.java    Error. Program `java' interrupted! (timed out?)
Comments
SUGGESTED FIX Vector memory operations could be misaligned when accesses to arrays of different types are vectorized in one loop. It leads to hw trap on SPARC and slow performance on old x86 (with slow unaligned memory instructions). It was caused by 2 main reasons: using iv_adjustment_in_bytes instead of iv_adjustment (number of iterations) and typo in same_velt_type(). Fixes: Used iv_adjustment as number of iterations in pre-loop to calculate correct offset in SuperWord::memory_alignment() method. Fixed typo in SuperWord::same_velt_type(). Allowed misaligned memory operations for vectors only on x86 which have fast misaligned memory instructions. I also did some code style clean up there. Note, the flag AlignVector is used in x64.ad file: const bool Matcher::misaligned_vectors_ok() { return !AlignVector; } Excluded LoadUI2L node from vector operations because it reports incorrect memory size.
