/// \file
/// This file defines the pass that looks through the machine instructions
/// late in the compilation, and finds byte or word instructions that
/// can be profitably replaced with 32 bit instructions that give equivalent
/// results for the bits of the results that are used. There are two possible
/// reasons to do this.
///
/// One reason is to avoid false-dependences on the upper portions
/// of the registers.  Only instructions that have a destination register
/// which is not in any of the source registers can be affected by this.
/// Any instruction where one of the source registers is also the destination
/// register is unaffected, because it has a true dependence on the source
/// register already.  So, this consideration primarily affects load
/// instructions and register-to-register moves.  It would
/// seem like cmov(s) would also be affected, but because of the way cmov is
/// really implemented by most machines as reading both the destination and
/// and source regsters, and then "merging" the two based on a condition,
/// it really already should be considered as having a true dependence on the
/// destination register as well.
///
/// The other reason to do this is for potential code size savings.  Word
/// operations need an extra override byte compared to their 32 bit
/// versions. So this can convert many word operations to their larger
/// size, saving a byte in encoding. This could introduce partial register
/// dependences where none existed however.  As an example take:
///   orw  ax, $0x1000
///   addw ax, $3
/// now if this were to get transformed into
///   orw  ax, $1000
///   addl eax, $3
/// because the addl encodes shorter than the addw, this would introduce
/// a use of a register that was only partially written earlier.  On older
/// Intel processors this can be quite a performance penalty, so this should
/// probably only be done when it can be proven that a new partial dependence
/// wouldn't be created, or when your know a newer processor is being
/// targeted, or when optimizing for minimum code size.
