The remaining parts produced by the full partial tile isolation can contain
hot spots that are worth to be optimized. Currently, we rely on the simple
loop unrolling pass, LiCM and the SLP vectorizer to optimize such parts.
However, the approach can suffer from the lack of the information about
aliasing that Polly provides using additional alias metadata or/and the lack
of the information required by simple loop unrolling pass.
This patch is the first step to optimize the remaining parts. To do it, we
unroll and separate them. In case of, for instance, Intel Kaby Lake, it helps
to increase the performance of the generated code from 39.87 GFlop/s to
49.23 GFlop/s.
The next possible step is to avoid unrolling performed by Polly in case of
isolated and remaining parts and rely only on simple loop unrolling pass and
the Loop vectorizer.

Currently, in case of GEMM and the pattern matching based optimizations, we
use only the SLP Vectorizer out of two LLVM vectorizers. Since the Loop
Vectorizer can get in the way of optimal code generation, we disable the Loop
Vectorizer for the innermost loop using mark nodes and emitting the
corresponding metadata.

There are problems with using the machine information to derive the precise
vector size on polly-amd64-linux and polly-arm-linux. We temporarily disable
the problematic run lines.

optimization
Isolate a set of partial tile prefixes to allow hoisting and sinking out of
the unrolled innermost loops produced by the optimization of the matrix
multiplication.
In case it cannot be proved that the number of loop iterations can be evenly
divided by tile sizes and we tile and unroll the point loop, the isl generates
conditional expressions. Subsequently, the conditional expressions can prevent
stores and loads of the unrolled loops from being sunk and hoisted.
The patch isolates a set of partial tile prefixes, which have exactly Mr x Nr
iterations of the two innermost loops, the result of the loop tiling performed
by the matrix multiplication optimization, where Mr and Mr are parameters of
the micro-kernel. This helps to get rid of the conditional expressions of
the unrolled innermost loops. Probably this approach can be replaced with
padding in future.
In case of, for example, the gemm from Polybench/C 3.2 and parametric loop
bounds, it helps to increase the performance from 7.98 GFlops (27.71% of
theoretical peak) to 21.47 GFlops (74.57% of theoretical peak). Hence, we
get the same performance as in case of scalar loops bounds.
It also cause compile time regression. The compile-time is increased from
0.795 seconds to 0.837 seconds in case of scalar loops bounds and from 1.222
seconds to 1.490 seconds in case of parametric loops bounds.
