Patch which introduces a target-independent framework for generating
hardware loops at the IR level. Most of the code has been taken from
PowerPC CTRLoops and PowerPC has been ported over to use this generic
pass. The target dependent parts have been moved into
TargetTransformInfo, via isHardwareLoopProfitable, with
HardwareLoopInfo introduced to transfer information from the backend.
Three generic intrinsics have been introduced:
- void @llvm.set_loop_iterations
Takes as a single operand, the number of iterations to be executed.
- i1 @llvm.loop_decrement(anyint)
Takes the maximum number of elements processed in an iteration of
the loop body and subtracts this from the total count. Returns
false when the loop should exit.
- anyint @llvm.loop_decrement_reg(anyint, anyint)
Takes the number of elements remaining to be processed as well as
the maximum numbe of elements processed in an iteration of the loop
body. Returns the updated number of elements remaining.

Summary:
Some llc debug options need pass-name as the parameters.
But if we use the pass-name ppc-early-ret, we will get below error:
llc test.ll -stop-after ppc-early-ret
LLVM ERROR: "ppc-early-ret" pass is not registered.
Below pass-names have the pass is not registered error:
ppc-ctr-loops
ppc-ctr-loops-verify
ppc-loop-preinc-prep
ppc-toc-reg-deps
ppc-vsx-copy
ppc-early-ret
ppc-vsx-fma-mutate
ppc-vsx-swaps
ppc-reduce-cr-ops
ppc-qpx-load-splat
