Hao Liu d39edfda46 [LoopVectorize] Teach Loop Vectorizor about interleaved memory accesses.
Interleaved memory accesses are grouped and vectorized into vector load/store and shufflevector.
E.g. for (i = 0; i < N; i+=2) {
       a = A[i];         // load of even element
       b = A[i+1];       // load of odd element
       ...               // operations on a, b, c, d
       A[i] = c;         // store of even element
       A[i+1] = d;       // store of odd element
     }

  The loads of even and odd elements are identified as an interleave load group, which will be transfered into vectorized IRs like:
     %wide.vec = load <8 x i32>, <8 x i32>* %ptr
     %vec.even = shufflevector <8 x i32> %wide.vec, <8 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 0, i32 2, i32 4, i32 6>
     %vec.odd = shufflevector <8 x i32> %wide.vec, <8 x i32> undef, <4 x i32> <i32 1, i32 3, i32 5, i32 7>

  The stores of even and odd elements are identified as an interleave store group, which will be transfered into vectorized IRs like:
     %interleaved.vec = shufflevector <4 x i32> %vec.even, %vec.odd, <8 x i32> <i32 0, i32 4, i32 1, i32 5, i32 2, i32 6, i32 3, i32 7> 
     store <8 x i32> %interleaved.vec, <8 x i32>* %ptr

This optimization is currently disabled by defaut. To try it by adding '-enable-interleaved-mem-accesses=true'.

In test/Transforms/LoopStrengthReduce/quadradic-exit-value.ll, the
ScalarEvolution expression for %r is this:

  {1,+,3,+,2}<loop>

Outside the loop, this could be evaluated simply as (%n * %n), however
ScalarEvolution currently evaluates it as

  (-2 + (2 * (trunc i65 (((zext i64 (-2 + %n) to i65) * (zext i64 (-1 + %n) to i65)) /u 2) to i64)) + (3 * %n))

In addition to being much more complicated, it involves i65 arithmetic,
which is very inefficient when expanded into code.

//===---------------------------------------------------------------------===//

In formatValue in test/CodeGen/X86/lsr-delayed-fold.ll,

ScalarEvolution is forming this expression:

((trunc i64 (-1 * %arg5) to i32) + (trunc i64 %arg5 to i32) + (-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32)))

This could be folded to

(-1 * (trunc i64 undef to i32))
