Reassociate should turn: X*X*X*X -> t=(X*X) (t*t) to eliminate a multiply.
Reassociate should turn things like:
int factorial(int X) {
return X*X*X*X*X*X*X*X;
}
into llvm.powi calls, allowing the code generator to produce balanced
multiplication trees.
First, the intrinsic needs to be extended to support integers, and second the
code generator needs to be enhanced to lower these to multiplication trees.

Reassociate should handle the example in GCC PR16157.
This is blocked on not handling X*X*X -> powi(X, 3) (see note above). The issue
is that we end up getting t = 2*X s = t*t and don't turn this into 4*X*X,
which is the same number of multiplies and is canonical, because the 2*X has
multiple uses. Here's a simple example:
define i32 @test15(i32 %X1) {
%B = mul i32 %X1, 47 ; X1*47
%C = mul i32 %B, %B
ret i32 %C
}

Reassociate should handle the example in GCC PR16157:
extern int a0, a1, a2, a3, a4; extern int b0, b1, b2, b3, b4;
void f () { /* this can be optimized to four additions... */
b4 = a4 + a3 + a2 + a1 + a0;
b3 = a3 + a2 + a1 + a0;
b2 = a2 + a1 + a0;
b1 = a1 + a0;
}
This requires reassociating to forms of expressions that are already available,
something that reassoc doesn't think about yet.
