add some notes, making posix-memalign be nocapture would be an easy improvement.

[LOOP OPTIMIZATION]
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/dt.c shows several interesting optimization
opportunities in its double_array_divs_variable function: it needs loop
interchange, memory promotion (which LICM already does), vectorization and
variable trip count loop unrolling (since it has a constant trip count). ICC
apparently produces this very nice code with -ffast-math:
..B1.70: # Preds ..B1.70 ..B1.69
mulpd %xmm0, %xmm1 #108.2
mulpd %xmm0, %xmm1 #108.2
mulpd %xmm0, %xmm1 #108.2
mulpd %xmm0, %xmm1 #108.2
addl $8, %edx #
cmpl $131072, %edx #108.2
jb ..B1.70 # Prob 99% #108.2
It would be better to count down to zero, but this is a lot better than what we
do.

We should do better analysis of posix_memalign. At the least it should
no-capture its pointer argument, at best, we should know that the out-value
result doesn't point to anything (like malloc). One example of this is in
SingleSource/Benchmarks/Misc/dt.c
