LSR always tries to make the ICmp in the loop latch use the incremented
induction variable. This allows the induction variable to be kept in a
single register.
When the induction variable limit is equal to the stride,
SimplifySetCC() would break LSR's hard work by transforming:
(icmp (add iv, stride), stride) --> (cmp iv, 0)
This forced us to use lea for the IC update, preventing the simpler
incl+cmp.

instruction lower optimization" in the pre-RA scheduler.
The optimization, rather the hack, was done before MI use-list was available.
Now we should be able to implement it in a better way, perhaps in the
two-address pass until a MI scheduler is available.
Now that the scheduler has to backtrack to handle call sequences. Adding
artificial scheduling constraints is just not safe. Furthermore, the hack
is not taking all the other scheduling decisions into consideration so it's just
as likely to pessimize code. So I view disabling this optimization goodness
regardless of PR11314.

This is done by pushing physical register definitions close to their
use, which happens to handle flag definitions if they're not glued to
the branch. This seems to be generally a good thing though, so I
didn't need to add a target hook yet.
The primary motivation is to generate code closer to what people
expect and rule out missed opportunity from enabling macro-op
fusion. As a side benefit, we get several 2-5% gains on x86
benchmarks. There is one regression:
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout/lists slows down be -10%. But this is
an independent scheduler bug that will be tracked separately.
See rdar://problem/9283108.
Incidentally, pre-RA scheduling is only half the solution. Fixing the
later passes is tracked by:
<rdar://problem/8932804> [pre-RA-sched] on x86, attempt to schedule CMP/TEST adjacent with condition jump
Fixes:
<rdar://problem/9262453> Scheduler unnecessary break of cmp/jump fusion

testcases accordingly. Some are currently xfailed and will be filed
as bugs to be fixed or understood.
Performance results:
roughly neutral on SPEC
some micro benchmarks in the llvm suite are up between 100 and 150%, only
a pair of regressions that are due to be investigated
john-the-ripper saw:
10% improvement in traditional DES
8% improvement in BSDI DES
59% improvement in FreeBSD MD5
67% improvement in OpenBSD Blowfish
14% improvement in LM DES
Small compile time impact.
