1. Fix pre-ra scheduler so it doesn't try to push instructions above calls to
"optimize for latency". Call instructions don't have the right latency and
this is more likely to use introduce spills.
2. Fix if-converter cost function. For ARM, it should use instruction latencies,
not # of micro-ops since multi-latency instructions is completely executed
even when the predicate is false. Also, some instruction will be "slower"
when they are predicated due to the register def becoming implicit input.

cost modeling for if-conversion. Now if only we had a way to estimate the misprediction probability.
Adjsut CodeGen/ARM/ifcvt10.ll. The pipeline on Cortex-A8 is long enough that it is still profitable
to predicate an ldm, but the shorter pipeline on Cortex-A9 makes it unprofitable.

take multiple cycles to decode.
For the current if-converter clients (actually only ARM), the instructions that
are predicated on false are not nops. They would still take machine cycles to
decode. Micro-coded instructions such as LDM / STM can potentially take multiple
cycles to decode. If-converter should take treat them as non-micro-coded
simple instructions.
