The HardwareLoops pass finds exit blocks with a scevable exit count.
If the target specifies to update the loop counter in a register,
through a phi, we need to ensure that the exit block is a latch so
that we can insert the phi with the correct value for the incoming
edge.

Patch which introduces a target-independent framework for generating
hardware loops at the IR level. Most of the code has been taken from
PowerPC CTRLoops and PowerPC has been ported over to use this generic
pass. The target dependent parts have been moved into
TargetTransformInfo, via isHardwareLoopProfitable, with
HardwareLoopInfo introduced to transfer information from the backend.
Three generic intrinsics have been introduced:
- void @llvm.set_loop_iterations
Takes as a single operand, the number of iterations to be executed.
- i1 @llvm.loop_decrement(anyint)
Takes the maximum number of elements processed in an iteration of
the loop body and subtracts this from the total count. Returns
false when the loop should exit.
- anyint @llvm.loop_decrement_reg(anyint, anyint)
Takes the number of elements remaining to be processed as well as
the maximum numbe of elements processed in an iteration of the loop
body. Returns the updated number of elements remaining.
