Summary:
This extends the PeelingModuloScheduleExpander to generate prolog and epilog code,
and correctly stitch uses through the prolog, kernel, epilog DAG.
The key concept in this patch is to ensure that all transforms are *local*; only a
function of a block and its immediate predecessor and successor. By defining the problem in this way
we can inductively rewrite the entire DAG using only local knowledge that is easy to
reason about.
For example, we assume that all prologs and epilogs are near-perfect clones of the
steady-state kernel. This means that if a block has an instruction that is predicated out,
we can redirect all users of that instruction to that equivalent instruction in our
immediate predecessor. As all blocks are clones, every instruction must have an equivalent in
every other block.
Similarly we can make the assumption by construction that if a value defined in a block is used
outside that block, the only possible user is its immediate successors. We maintain this
even for values that are used outside the loop by creating a limited form of LCSSA.
This code isn't small, but it isn't complex.
Enabled a bunch of testing from Hexagon. There are a couple of tests not enabled yet;
I'm about 80% sure there isn't buggy codegen but the tests are checking for patterns
that we don't produce. Those still need a bit more investigation. In the meantime we
(Google) are happy with the code produced by this on our downstream SMS implementation,
and believe it generates correct code.

Software pipelining is an optimization for improving ILP by
overlapping loop iterations. Swing Modulo Scheduling (SMS) is
an implementation of software pipelining that attempts to
reduce register pressure and generate efficient pipelines with
a low compile-time cost.
This implementaion of SMS is a target-independent back-end pass.
When enabled, the pass should run just prior to the register
allocation pass, while the machine IR is in SSA form. If the pass
is successful, then the original loop is replaced by the optimized
loop. The optimized loop contains one or more prolog blocks, the
pipelined kernel, and one or more epilog blocks.
This pass is enabled for Hexagon only. To enable for other targets,
a couple of target specific hooks must be implemented, and the
pass needs to be called from the target's TargetMachine
implementation.
