This patch makes sure that if we use altivec (VMX) instructions, we don't
use VSX instructions as well, as this cause piglit tests to fail
For more details, see: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=25503#c7
With this patch, ppc64le reaches parity with x86-64 as far as piglit test
suite is concerned.
v2:
- Added check that we have at least LLVM 3.4
- Added the LLVM bug URL as a comment in the code
