FusedMultiplyAdd (FMA) default to vfmadd213, even in situation where 231 (I think) should be preferred

Research direction
Start by reproducing Is213_ButShouldBe231 with System.Runtime.Intrinsics.Fma.MultiplyAdd on .NET 8 and compare the generated assembly with the expected vfmadd231ps sequence. Trace the JIT's FMA lowering and register-allocation behavior; done means the redundant moves and repeated loads are removed for this case, with coverage added to the relevant JIT tests if an existing test area is identified.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Description
Using c = Fma.MultiplyAdd(a, b, c), the codegen seems to make some redundant register move.
This bug is closely related to:
- This issue #12984
- The bug the following PR was trying to fix : dotnet/coreclr#25387
I did not write a lot of bug report, so don't hesitate if more information is needed.
Reproduction Steps
public static Vector256<float> Is213_ButShouldBe231(Vector256<float> columnC, Vector256<float> columnA, Vector256<float> rowB)
{
// vfmadd132ps scr1, src2, src3/mem => src1 = (src1 * src3/mem) + src2
// vfmadd213ps scr1, src2, src3/mem => src1 = (src2 * src1) + src3/mem
// vfmadd231ps scr1, src2, src3/mem => src1 = (src2 * src3/mem) + src1
// Fma.MultiplyAdd(src1, src2, src3) := (src1 * src2) + src3
columnC = Fma.MultiplyAdd(columnA, rowB, columnC);
columnC = Fma.MultiplyAdd(columnA, rowB, columnC);
columnC = Fma.MultiplyAdd(columnA, rowB, columnC);
columnC = Fma.MultiplyAdd(columnA, rowB, columnC);
columnC = Fma.MultiplyAdd(columnA, rowB, columnC);
columnC = Fma.MultiplyAdd(columnA, rowB, columnC);
columnC = Fma.MultiplyAdd(columnA, rowB, columnC);
columnC = Fma.MultiplyAdd(columnA, rowB, columnC);
return columnC;
}
Expected behavior
