an earlier load could be widened to encompass a later load. For example,
if we see:
X = load i8* P, align 4
Y = load i8* (P+3), align 1
and we have a 32-bit native integer type, we can widen the former load
to i32 which then makes the second load redundant. GVN can't actually
do anything with this load/load relation yet, so this isn't testable, but
it is the next step to resolving PR6627, and a fairly general class of
"merge neighboring loads" missed optimizations.

return it as a clobber. This allows GVN to do smart things.
Enhance GVN to be smart about the case when a small load is clobbered
by a larger overlapping load. In this case, forward the value. This
allows us to compile stuff like this:
int test(void *P) {
int tmp = *(unsigned int*)P;
return tmp+*((unsigned char*)P+1);
}
into:
_test: ## @test
movl (%rdi), %ecx
movzbl %ch, %eax
addl %ecx, %eax
ret
which has one load. We already handled the case where the smaller
load was from a must-aliased base pointer.

with BasicAA's DecomposeGEPExpression, which recently began
using a TargetData. This fixes PR8968, though the testcase
is awkward to reduce.
Also, update several off GetUnderlyingObject's users
which happen to have a TargetData handy to pass it in.

references. For example, this allows gvn to eliminate the load in
this example:
void foo(int n, int* p, int *q) {
p[0] = 0;
p[1] = 1;
if (n) {
*q = p[0];
}
}

must be called in the pass's constructor. This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.
Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes. Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.
I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin. It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options. If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.

perform initialization without static constructors AND without explicit initialization
by the client. For the moment, passes are required to initialize both their
(potential) dependencies and any passes they preserve. I hope to be able to relax
the latter requirement in the future.

response from getModRefInfo is not useful here. Instead, check for identical
calls only in the NoModRef case.
Reapply r110270, and strengthen it to compensate for the memdep changes.
When both calls are readonly, there is no dependence between them.

rotate CallInst operands, i.e. move callee to the back
of the operand array
the motivation for this patch are laid out in my mail to llvm-commits:
more efficient access to operands and callee, faster callgraph-construction,
smaller compiler binary

argument is non-null, pass it along to PHITranslateSubExpr so that it can
prefer using existing values that dominate the PredBB, instead of just
blindly picking the first equivalent value that it finds on a uselist.
Also when the DominatorTree is specified, have PHITranslateValue filter
out any result that does not dominate the PredBB. This is basically just
refactoring the check that used to be in GetAvailablePHITranslatedSubExpr
and also in GVN.
Despite my initial expectations, this change does not affect the results
of GVN for any testcases that I could find, but it should help compile time.
Before this change, if PHITranslateSubExpr picked a value that does not
dominate, PHITranslateWithInsertion would then insert a new value, which GVN
would later determine to be redundant and would replace. By picking a good
value to begin with, we save GVN the extra work of inserting and then
replacing a new value.
