/// Visit blocks in function order. Divide each block into scheduling regions

/// This design avoids exposing scheduling boundaries to the DAG builder,
/// simplifying the DAG builder's support for "special" target instructions,
/// while at the same time allowing target schedulers to operate across
/// scheduling boundaries, for example to bundle the boudary instructions
/// without reordering them. This creates complexity, because the target
/// scheduler must update the RegionBegin and RegionEnd positions cached by
/// ScheduleDAGInstrs whenever adding or removing instructions. A much simpler
/// design would be to split blocks at scheduling boundaries, but LLVM has a
/// general bias against block splitting purely for implementation simplicity.
