This pass doesn't correctly handle testing for when it is legal to hoist
arbitrary instructions. The whitelist happens to make it safe, so before
it is removed the pass's legality checks will need to be enhanced.
Details have been added to the code review thread for the patch.
llvm-svn: 302640
Summary:
This lets us add this pass to the IR pass manager unconditionally; it
will simply not do anything on targets without branch divergence.

Summary:
This is a pass for speculative execution of instructions for simple if-then (triangle) control flow. It's aimed at GPUs, but could perhaps be used in other contexts. Enabling this pass gives us a 1.0% geomean improvement on Google benchmark suites, with one benchmark improving 33%.
Credit goes to Jingyue Wu for writing an earlier version of this pass.
Patched by Bjarke Roune.
Test Plan:
This patch adds a set of tests in test/Transforms/SpeculativeExecution/spec.ll
The pass is controlled by a flag which defaults to having the pass not run.
