Set the transform bar at 2 divisions because the fastest current
x86 FP divider circuit is in SandyBridge / Haswell at 10 cycle
latency (best case) relative to a 5 cycle multiplier.
So that's the worst case for this transform (no latency win),
but multiplies are obviously pipelined while divisions are not,
so there's still a big throughput win which we would expect to
show up in typical FP code.
These are the sequences I'm comparing:
divss %xmm2, %xmm0
mulss %xmm1, %xmm0
divss %xmm2, %xmm0
Becomes:
movss LCPI0_0(%rip), %xmm3 ## xmm3 = mem[0],zero,zero,zero
divss %xmm2, %xmm3
mulss %xmm3, %xmm0
mulss %xmm1, %xmm0
mulss %xmm3, %xmm0
[Ignore for the moment that we don't optimize the chain of 3 multiplies
into 2 independent fmuls followed by 1 dependent fmul...this is the DAG
version of: https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21768 ...if we fix that,
then the transform becomes even more profitable on all targets.]
