/// This file implements a pass that converts X86 cmov instructions into branch
/// when profitable. This pass is conservative, i.e., it applies transformation
/// if and only if it can gaurantee a gain with high confidence.
///
/// Thus, the optimization applies under the following conditions:
/// 1. Consider as a candidate only CMOV in most inner loop, assuming that
/// most hotspots are represented by these loops.
/// 2. Given a group of CMOV instructions, that are using same EFLAGS def
/// instruction:
/// a. Consider them as candidates only if all have same code condition or
/// opposite one, to prevent generating more than one conditional jump
/// per EFLAGS def instruction.
/// b. Consider them as candidates only if all are profitable to be
/// converted, assuming that one bad conversion may casue a degradation.
/// 3. Apply conversion only for loop that are found profitable and only for
/// CMOV candidates that were found profitable.
/// a. Loop is considered profitable only if conversion will reduce its
/// depth cost by some thrishold.
/// b. CMOV is considered profitable if the cost of its condition is higher
/// than the average cost of its true-value and false-value by 25% of
/// branch-misprediction-penalty, this to assure no degredassion even
/// with 25% branch misprediction.
///
/// Note: This pass is assumed to run on SSA machine code.
