return it as a clobber. This allows GVN to do smart things.
Enhance GVN to be smart about the case when a small load is clobbered
by a larger overlapping load. In this case, forward the value. This
allows us to compile stuff like this:
int test(void *P) {
int tmp = *(unsigned int*)P;
return tmp+*((unsigned char*)P+1);
}
into:
_test: ## @test
movl (%rdi), %ecx
movzbl %ch, %eax
addl %ecx, %eax
ret
which has one load. We already handled the case where the smaller
load was from a must-aliased base pointer.
