This patch adds eight new primops that fuse a multiplication and an addition or subtraction: - `{fmadd,fmsub,fnmadd,fnmsub}{Float,Double}#` fmadd x y z is x * y + z, computed with a single rounding step. This patch implements code generation for these primops in the following backends: - X86, AArch64 and PowerPC NCG, - LLVM - C WASM uses the C implementation. The primops are unsupported in the JavaScript backend. The following constant folding rules are also provided: - compute a * b + c when a, b, c are all literals, - x * y + 0 ==> x * y, - ±1 * y + z ==> z ± y and x * ±1 + z ==> z ± x. NB: the constant folding rules incorrectly handle signed zero. This is a known limitation with GHC's floating-point constant folding rules (#21227), which we hope to resolve in the future.
