Michael Kruse a230f22f4b [ScopBuilder] Prefer PHI Write accesses in the statement the incoming value is defined.
Theoretically, a PHI write can be added to any statement that represents
the incoming basic block. We previously always chose the last because
the incoming value's definition is guaranteed to be defined.

With this patch the PHI write is added to the statement that defines the
incoming value. It avoids the requirement for a scalar dependency between
the defining statement and the statement containing the write. As such the
logic for -polly-stmt-granularity=scalar-indep that ensures that there is
such scalar dependencies can be removed.

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.
