Tail merging had been disabled on PPC because it would disturb bundling decisions
made during pre-RA scheduling on the 970 cores. Now, however, all bundling decisions
are made during post-RA scheduling, and tail merging is generally beneficial (the
average test-suite speedup is insignificantly positive).
Largest test-suite speedups:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/mediabench/gsm/toast/toast - 30%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/BitBench/uuencode/uuencode - 23%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Shootout-C++/ary - 21%
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Stanford/Queens - 17%
Largest slowdowns:
MultiSource/Benchmarks/MiBench/security-sha/security-sha - 24%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/McCat/03-testtrie/testtrie - 22%
MultiSource/Applications/JM/ldecod/ldecod - 14%
MultiSource/Benchmarks/mediabench/g721/g721encode/encode - 9%
This is improved by using full (instead of just critical) anti-dependency breaking,
but doing so still causes miscompiles and so cannot yet be enabled by default.
