Summary:
Creates the SVEIntrinsicOpts pass. In this patch, the pass tries
to remove unnecessary reinterpret intrinsics which convert to
and from svbool_t (llvm.aarch64.sve.convert.[to|from].svbool)
For example, the reinterprets below are redundant:
%1 = call <vscale x 16 x i1> @llvm.aarch64.sve.convert.to.svbool.nxv4i1(<vscale x 4 x i1> %a)
%2 = call <vscale x 4 x i1> @llvm.aarch64.sve.convert.from.svbool.nxv4i1(<vscale x 16 x i1> %1)
The pass also looks for ptest intrinsics and phi instructions where
the operands are being needlessly converted to and from svbool_t.
