Chris Lattner a061859ccc Teach instcombine to fold compares of loads from constant
arrays with variable indices into a comparison of the index
with a constant.  The most common occurrence of this that
I see by far is stuff like:

if ("foobar"[i] == '\0') ...

which we compile into: if (i == 6), saving a load and 
materialization of the global address.  This also exposes 
loop trip count information to later passes in many cases.

This triggers hundreds of times in xalancbmk, which is where I first
noticed it, but it also triggers in many other apps.  Here are a few 
interesting ones from various apps:

@must_be_connected_without = internal constant [8 x i8*] [i8* getelementptr inbounds ([3 x i8]* @.str64320, i64 0, i64 0), i8* getelementptr inbounds ([3 x i8]* @.str27283, i64 0, i64 0), i8* getelementptr inbounds ([4 x i8]* @.str71327, i64 0, i64 0), i8* getelementptr inbounds ([4 x i8]* @.str72328, i64 0, i64 0), i8* getelementptr inbounds ([3 x i8]* @.str18274, i64 0, i64 0), i8* getelementptr inbounds ([6 x i8]* @.str11267, i64 0, i64 0), i8* getelementptr inbounds ([3 x i8]* @.str32288, i64 0, i64 0), i8* null], align 32 ; <[8 x i8*]*> [#uses=2]
  %scevgep.i = getelementptr [8 x i8*]* @must_be_connected_without, i64 0, i64 %indvar.i ; <i8**> [#uses=1]
  %17 = load ...
  %18 = icmp eq i8* %17, null                     ; <i1> [#uses=1]
-> icmp eq i64 %indvar.i, 7

  %57 = getelementptr inbounds [84 x i8]* @yytable1095, i64 0, i64 %56 ; <i8*> [#uses=1]
   %mode.0.in = getelementptr inbounds [9 x i32]* @mb_mode_table, i64 0, i64 %.pn ; <i32*> [#uses=1]

@gsm_DLB = internal constant [4 x i16] [i16 6554, i16 16384, i16 26214, i16 32767]

%425 = load %scevgep.i
%426 = icmp eq i16 %425, -32768                 ; <i1> [#uses=0]
