performance in most cases on the Grawp tester, but does speed some
things up (like shootout/hash by 15%). This also doesn't impact
compile time in a noticable way on the Grawp tester.
It also, of course, gets the testcase it was designed for right :)

-enable-smarter-addr-folding to llc) that gives CGP a better
cost model for when to sink computations into addressing modes.
The basic observation is that sinking increases register
pressure when part of the addr computation has to be available
for other reasons, such as having a use that is a non-memory
operation. In cases where it works, it can substantially reduce
register pressure.
This code is currently an overall win on 403.gcc and 255.vortex
(the two things I've been looking at), but there are several
things I want to do before enabling it by default:
1. This isn't doing any caching of results, so it is much slower
than it could be. It currently slows down release-asserts llc
by 1.7% on 176.gcc: 27.12s -> 27.60s.
2. This doesn't think about inline asm memory operands yet.
3. The cost model botches the case when the needed value is live
across the computation for other reasons.
I'll continue poking at this, and eventually turn it on as llcbeta.
