// This pass transforms loops by placing phi nodes at the end of the loops for
// all values that are live across the loop boundary. For example, it turns
// the left into the right code:
//
// for (...) for (...)
// if (c) if (c)
// X1 = ... X1 = ...
// else else
// X2 = ... X2 = ...
// X3 = phi(X1, X2) X3 = phi(X1, X2)
// ... = X3 + 4 X4 = phi(X3)
// ... = X4 + 4
//
// This is still valid LLVM; the extra phi nodes are purely redundant, and will
// be trivially eliminated by InstCombine. The major benefit of this
// transformation is that it makes many other loop optimizations, such as
// LoopUnswitching, simpler.
