[PATCH] Fix PR 47755 on powerpc, make vector constant of all 0's not generate a load instruction

[David Edelsohn]

Mike,

Thanks for the revised ChangeLog.  The explanation should not be in
the ChangeLog, only "Remove code that checks for TImode."  The
explanation should be in this email thread.

The patch is okay with the second ChangeLog changed.

Thanks, David
