In order to set breakpoints on labels and list source code around
labels, we need collect debug information for labels, i.e., label
name, the function label belong, line number in the file, and the
address label located. In order to keep these information in LLVM
IR and to allow backend to generate debug information correctly.
We create a new kind of metadata for labels, DILabel. The format
of DILabel is
!DILabel(scope: !1, name: "foo", file: !2, line: 3)
We hope to keep debug information as much as possible even the
code is optimized. So, we create a new kind of intrinsic for label
metadata to avoid the metadata is eliminated with basic block.
The intrinsic will keep existing if we keep it from optimized out.
The format of the intrinsic is
llvm.dbg.label(metadata !1)
It has only one argument, that is the DILabel metadata. The
intrinsic will follow the label immediately. Backend could get the
label metadata through the intrinsic's parameter.
We also create DIBuilder API for labels to be used by Frontend.
Frontend could use createLabel() to allocate DILabel objects, and use
insertLabel() to insert llvm.dbg.label intrinsic in LLVM IR.

Summary:
Refactor the existing support into a LoopDataPrefetch implementation
class and a LoopDataPrefetchLegacyPass class that invokes it.
Add a new LoopDataPrefetchPass for the new pass manager that utilizes
the LoopDataPrefetch implementation class.

This is effectively NFC, minus the renaming of the options
(-cyclone-prefetch-distance -> -prefetch-distance).
The change was requested by Tim in D17943.

Summary:
It can hurt performance to prefetch ahead too much. Be conservative for
now and don't prefetch ahead more than 3 iterations on Cyclone.

Summary:
And use this TTI for Cyclone. As it was explained in the original RFC
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.llvm.devel/92758), the HW
prefetcher work up to 2KB strides.
I am also adding tests for this and the previous change (D17943):
* Cyclone prefetching accesses with a large stride
* Cyclone not prefetching accesses with a small stride
* Generic Aarch64 subtarget not prefetching either

Summary:
Since this is an IR pass it's nice to be able to write tests without
llc. This is the counterpart of the llc test under
CodeGen/PowerPC/loop-data-prefetch.ll.
