ad96655905 [PowerPC] Really iterate over all loops in PPCLoopDataPrefetch/PPCLoopPreIncPrep
When I fixed these a couple of days ago to iterate over all loops, not just
depth == 1 loops, I inadvertently made it such that we'd only look at the first
top-level loop. Make sure that we really look at all of them.

d4f643a5df [PowerPC] Prefetching should also consider depth > 1 loops
Iterating over loops from the LoopInfo instance only provides top-level loops.
We need to search the whole tree of loops to find the inner ones.

529919ff31 DataLayout is mandatory, update the API to reflect it with references.
Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.

This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.

I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.

I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

5e261ee7b0 Remove the remaining uses of abs64 and nuke it.
std::abs works just fine and we're already using it in many places. NFC intended.

c94da20917 Make DataLayout Non-Optional in the Module
Summary:
DataLayout keeps the string used for its creation.

As a side effect it is no longer needed in the Module.
This is "almost" NFC, the string is no longer
canonicalized, you can't rely on two "equals" DataLayout
having the same string returned by getStringRepresentation().

Get rid of DataLayoutPass: the DataLayout is in the Module

The DataLayout is "per-module", let's enforce this by not
duplicating it more than necessary.
One more step toward non-optionality of the DataLayout in the
module.

Make DataLayout Non-Optional in the Module

Module->getDataLayout() will never returns nullptr anymore.

2c5f9584ba [PowerPC] Loop Data Prefetching for the BG/Q
The IBM BG/Q supercomputer's A2 cores have a hardware prefetching unit, the
L1P, but it does not prefetch directly into the A2's L1 cache. Instead, it
prefetches into its own L1P buffer, and the latency to access that buffer is
significantly higher than that to the L1 cache (although smaller than the
latency to the L2 cache). As a result, especially when multiple hardware
threads are not actively busy, explicitly prefetching data into the L1 cache is
advantageous.

I've been using this pass out-of-tree for data prefetching on the BG/Q for well
over a year, and it has worked quite well. It is enabled by default only for
the BG/Q, but can be enabled for other cores as well via a command-line option.

Eventually, we might want to add some TTI interfaces and move this into
Transforms/Scalar (there is nothing particularly target dependent about it,
although only machines like the BG/Q will benefit from its simplistic
strategy).
