The load store vectorizer currently uses isNoAlias() to determine
whether memory-accessing instructions should prevent vectorization.
However, this only works for loads and stores. Additionally, a
couple of intrinsics like assume are special-cased to be ignored.
Instead use getModRefInfo() to generically determine whether the
instruction accesses/modifies the relevant location. This will
automatically handle all inaccessiblememonly intrinsics correctly
(as well as other calls that don't modref for other reasons).
This requires generalizing the code a bit, as it was previously
only considering loads and stored in particular.

As it's causing some bot failures (and per request from kbarton).
This reverts commit r358543/ab70da07286e618016e78247e4a24fcb84077fda.
llvm-svn: 358546
This patch implements Chandler's idea [0] for supporting languages that
require support for infinite loops with side effects, such as Rust, providing
part of a solution to bug 965 [1].
Specifically, it adds an `llvm.sideeffect()` intrinsic, which has no actual
effect, but which appears to optimization passes to have obscure side effects,
such that they don't optimize away loops containing it. It also teaches
several optimization passes to ignore this intrinsic, so that it doesn't
significantly impact optimization in most cases.
As discussed on llvm-dev [2], this patch is the first of two major parts.
The second part, to change LLVM's semantics to have defined behavior
on infinite loops by default, with a function attribute for opting into
potential-undefined-behavior, will be implemented and posted for review in
a separate patch.
