This is effectively NFC, minus the renaming of the options
(-cyclone-prefetch-distance -> -prefetch-distance).
The change was requested by Tim in D17943.
llvm-svn: 264806
Summary:
It can hurt performance to prefetch ahead too much. Be conservative for
now and don't prefetch ahead more than 3 iterations on Cyclone.

Summary:
And use this TTI for Cyclone. As it was explained in the original RFC
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/92758), the HW
prefetcher work up to 2KB strides.
I am also adding tests for this and the previous change (D17943):
* Cyclone prefetching accesses with a large stride
* Cyclone not prefetching accesses with a small stride
* Generic Aarch64 subtarget not prefetching either

This lets select sub-targets enable this pass. The patch implements the
idea from the recent llvm-dev thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/94925
The goal is to enable the LoopDataPrefetch pass for the Cyclone
sub-target only within Aarch64.
Positive and negative tests will be included in an upcoming patch that
enables selective prefetching of large-strided accesses on Cyclone.

This patch is part of the work to make PPCLoopDataPrefetch
target-independent
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/92758).
Obviously the pass still only used from PPC at this point. Subsequent
patches will start driving this from ARM64 as well.
Due to the previous patch most lines should show up as moved lines.
