Currently LLVM will generally merge GEPs. This allows backends to use more
complex addressing modes. In some cases this is not happening because there
is PHI inbetween the two GEPs:
GEP1--\
|-->PHI1-->GEP3
GEP2--/
This patch checks to see if GEP1 and GEP2 are similiar enough that they can be
cloned (GEP12) in GEP3's BB, allowing GEP->GEP merging (GEP123):
GEP1--\ --\ --\
|-->PHI1-->GEP3 ==> |-->PHI2->GEP12->GEP3 == > |-->PHI2->GEP123
GEP2--/ --/ --/
This also breaks certain use chains that are preventing GEP->GEP merges that the
the existing instcombine would merge otherwise.
Tests included.
