Tobias Grosser ca7f5bb767 Full/partial tile separation for vectorization
We isolate full tiles from partial tiles to be able to, for example, vectorize
loops with parametric lower and/or upper bounds.

If we use -polly-vectorizer=stripmine, we can see execution-time improvements:
correlation from 1m7361s to 0m5720s (-67.05 %), covariance from 1m5561s to
0m5680s (-63.50 %), ary3 from 2m3201s to 1m2361s (-46.72 %), CrystalMk from
8m5565s to 7m4285s (-13.18 %).

The current full/partial tile separation increases compile-time more than
necessary. As a result, we see in compile time regressions, for example, for 3mm
from 0m6320s to 0m9881s (56.34%). Some of this compile time increase is expected
as we generate more IR and consequently more time is spent in the LLVM backends.
However, a first investiagation has shown that a larger portion of compile time
is unnecessarily spent inside Polly's parallelism detection and could be
eliminated by propagating existing knowledge about vector loop parallelism.
Before enabling -polly-vectorizer=stripmine by default, it is necessary to
address this compile-time issue.

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM
-----------------------------------------
http://polly.llvm.org/

Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and
transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract
representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general
way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the
optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant
propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for
cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive
vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
