Checks on Demand algorithm which looks at arbitrary branches instead of loop
iterations. This is GSoC work by Andre Tavares with only editorial changes
applied!

GEPs (more than one non-zero index) into simple GEPs (at most one
non-zero index). In some simple experiments using this it's not
uncommon to see 3% overall code size wins, because it exposes
redundancies that can be eliminated, however it's tricky to use
because instcombine aggressively undoes the work that this pass does.

constants out of loops. These aren't covered by the regular LICM
pass, because in LLVM IR constants don't require separate
instructions. They're not always covered by the MachineLICM pass
either, because it doesn't know how to unfold folded constant-pool
loads. This is somewhat experimental at this point, and off by
default.

LoopPass*.
- Although less precise, this means they can be used in clients
without RTTI (who would otherwise need to include LoopPass.h, which
eventually includes things using dynamic_cast). This was the
simplest solution that presented itself, but I am happy to use a
better one if available.

Unfortunately this means removing one regression test
of GlobalsModRef because I couldn't work out how to
perform it without MarkModRef.

attributes on functions, based on the result of
alias analysis. It's not hardwired to use
GlobalsModRef even though this is the only (AFAIK)
alias analysis that results in this pass actually
doing something. Enable as follows:
opt ... -globalsmodref-aa -markmodref ...
Advantages of this pass: (1) records the result
of globalsmodref in the bitcode, meaning it is
available for use by later passes (currently
the pass manager isn't smart enough to magically
make an advanced alias analysis available to all
later passes), which may expose more optimization
opportunities; (2) hopefully speeds up compilation
when code is optimized twice, for example when a
file is compiled to bitcode, then later LTO is done
on it: marking functions readonly/readnone when
producing the initial bitcode should speed up alias
analysis during LTO; (3) good for discovering that
globalsmodref doesn't work very well :)
Not currently turned on by default.

address of the PassInfo directly instead of calling getPassInfo.
This eliminates a bunch of dynamic initializations of static data.
Also, fold RegisterPassBase into PassInfo, make a bunch of its
data members const, and rearrange some code to initialize data
members in constructors instead of using setter member functions.

a FunctionPass. This makes it simpler, fixes dozens of bugs, adds
a couple of minor features, and shrinks is considerably: from
2214 to 1437 lines.

as the current DSE, but it only a linear scan over each block, rather than quadratic. Eventually
(once it has been improved somewhat), this will replace the current DSE.
NOTE: This has not yet been extensively tested.
