If the parameters of the target cache (i.e., cache level sizes, cache level
associativities) are not specified or have wrong values, we use ones for
parameters of the macro-kernel and do not perform data-layout optimizations of
the matrix multiplication. In this patch we specify the default values of the
cache parameters to be able to apply the pattern matching optimizations even in
this case. Since there is no typical values of this parameters, we use the
parameters of Intel Core i7-3820 SandyBridge that also help to attain the
high-performance on IBM POWER System S822 and IBM Power 730 Express server.

Typically processor architectures do not include an L3 cache, which means that
Nc, the parameter of the micro-kernel, is, for all practical purposes,
redundant ([1]). However, its small values can cause the redundant packing of
the same elements of the matrix A, the first operand of the matrix
multiplication. At the same time, big values of the parameter Nc can cause
segmentation faults in case the available stack is exceeded.
This patch adds an option to specify the parameter Nc as a multiple of
the parameter of the micro-kernel Nr.
In case of Intel Core i7-3820 SandyBridge and the following options,
clang -O3 gemm.c -I utilities/ utilities/polybench.c -DPOLYBENCH_TIME
-march=native -mllvm -polly -mllvm -polly-pattern-matching-based-opts=true
-DPOLYBENCH_USE_SCALAR_LB -mllvm -polly-target-cache-level-associativity=8,8
-mllvm -polly-target-cache-level-sizes=32768,262144 -mllvm
-polly-target-latency-vector-fma=8
it helps to improve the performance from 11.303 GFlops/sec (39,247% of
theoretical peak) to 17.896 GFlops/sec (62,14% of theoretical peak).

To prevent copy statements from accessing arrays out of bounds, ranges of their
extension maps are restricted, according to the constraints of domains.
