Dan Gohman 6000e253d4 Check in the experimental GEP splitter pass. This pass splits complex
GEPs (more than one non-zero index) into simple GEPs (at most one
non-zero index).  In some simple experiments using this it's not
uncommon to see 3% overall code size wins, because it exposes
redundancies that can be eliminated, however it's tricky to use
because instcombine aggressively undoes the work that this pass does.
