Chris Lattner 9440db8866 Implement ArgumentPromotion/aggregate-promote.ll
This allows pointers to aggregate objects, whose elements are only read, to
be promoted and passed in by element instead of by reference.  This can
enable a LOT of subsequent optimizations in the caller function.

It's worth pointing out that this stuff happens a LOT of C++ programs, because
objects in templates are generally passed around by reference.  When these
templates are instantiated on small aggregate or scalar types, however, it is
more efficient to pass them in by value than by reference.

This transformation triggers most on C++ codes (e.g. 334 times on eon), but
does happen on C codes as well.  For example, on mesa it triggers 72 times,
and on gcc it triggers 35 times.  this is amazingly good considering that
we are using 'basicaa' so far.

//
// This pass promotes "by reference" arguments to be "by value" arguments. In
// practice, this means looking for internal functions that have pointer
// arguments. If we can prove, through the use of alias analysis, that that an
// argument is *only* loaded, then we can pass the value into the function
// instead of the address of the value. This can cause recursive simplification
// of code, and lead to the elimination of allocas, especially in C++ template
// code like the STL.
//
// This pass also handles aggregate arguments that are passed into a function,
// scalarizing them if the elements of the aggregate are only loaded. Note that
// we refuse to scalarize aggregates which would require passing in more than
// three operands to the function, because we don't want to pass thousands of
// operands for a large array or something!
//
// Note that this transformation could also be done for arguments that are only
// stored to (returning the value instead), but we do not currently handle that
// case. This case would be best handled when and if we start supporting
// multiple return values from functions.
