When considering whether to split an instruction with a memory operand
into an explicit load and a register-based instruction, we currently
check that the resulting instruction has exactly 1 def. This prevents 2
important LICM optimizations: compares with memory operands, and double
indirect calls. All the tests and the test-suite pass without the check.
My guess as to original intent is to limit the additional register pressure
created by the new instruction, but given that we only split out a single
register, it is already limited.
The licm-dominance test now checks actual memory loads for hoisting instead of
undef, and it tests compares.
hoist-invariant-load.ll now checks for 2 hoists, the intended hoist, and a bonus
from calling a got-relative function in a loop.

Instead of having a bunch of separate MOV8r0, MOV16r0, ... pseudo-instructions,
it's better to use a single MOV32r0 (which will expand to "xorl %reg, %reg")
and obtain other sizes with EXTRACT_SUBREG and SUBREG_TO_REG. The encoding is
smaller and partial register updates can sometimes be avoided.
Until recently, this sequence was a barrier to rematerialization though. That
should now be fixed so it's an appropriate time to make the change.

This is mostly to test the waters. I'd like to get results from FNT
build bots and other bots running on non-x86 platforms.
This feature has been pretty heavily tested over the last few months by
me, and it fixes several of the execution time regressions caused by the
inlining work by preventing inlining decisions from radically impacting
block layout.
I've seen very large improvements in yacr2 and ackermann benchmarks,
along with the expected noise across all of the benchmark suite whenever
code layout changes. I've analyzed all of the regressions and fixed
them, or found them to be impossible to fix. See my email to llvmdev for
more details.
I'd like for this to be in 3.1 as it complements the inliner changes,
but if any failures are showing up or anyone has concerns, it is just
a flag flip and so can be easily turned off.
I'm switching it on tonight to try and get at least one run through
various folks' performance suites in case SPEC or something else has
serious issues with it. I'll watch bots and revert if anything shows up.
