so we can stop using DW_OP_bit_piece with the wrong semantics.
The entire back story can be found here:
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20161114/405934.html
The gist is that in LLVM we've been misinterpreting DW_OP_bit_piece's
offset field to mean the offset into the source variable rather than
the offset into the location at the top the DWARF expression stack. In
order to be able to fix this in a subsequent patch, this patch
introduces a dedicated DW_OP_LLVM_fragment operation with the
semantics that we used to apply to DW_OP_bit_piece, which is what we
actually need while inside of LLVM. This patch is complete with a
bitcode upgrade for expressions using the old format. It does not yet
fix the DWARF backend to use DW_OP_bit_piece correctly.
Implementation note: We discussed several options for implementing
this, including reserving a dedicated field in DIExpression for the
fragment size and offset, but using an custom operator at the end of
the expression works just fine and is more efficient because we then
only pay for it when we need it.

Summary:
The original heuristic to break critical edge during machine sink is relatively conservertive: when there is only one instruction sinkable to the critical edge, it is likely that the machine sink pass will not break the critical edge. This leads to many speculative instructions executed at runtime. However, with profile info, we could model the splitting benefits: if the critical edge has 50% taken rate, it would always be beneficial to split the critical edge to avoid the speculated runtime instructions. This patch uses profile to guide critical edge splitting in machine sink pass.
