Hi Ben -
Thanks for your response. For the sake of argument, let's narrow the scope
of the problem to eliminate some of the variables you have rightfully
cited.
Let's assume we're not dealing with volatiles, atomics, or FP operands.
We'll even guarantee that the extra loaded value is never used. This is, in
fact, the scenario that http://reviews.llvm.org/rL263446 is concerned
