Bill Wendling 4cc4666268 Place the GEP instructions nearer to the instructions which use them. ...

GEP instructions are there for the compiler and shouldn't really output much
code (if any at all). When a GEP is stored in the entry block, Fast ISel (for
one) will not know that it could fold it into further uses. For instance, inside
of the EH handling code. This results in a lot of unnecessary spills and loads
which bloat code and slows down pretty much everything.
