Roman Gareev 925ce50f1b Unroll and separate the remaining parts of isolation
The remaining parts produced by the full partial tile isolation can contain
hot spots that are worth to be optimized. Currently, we rely on the simple
loop unrolling pass, LiCM and the SLP vectorizer to optimize such parts.
However, the approach can suffer from the lack of the information about
aliasing that Polly provides using additional alias metadata or/and the lack
of the information required by simple loop unrolling pass.

This patch is the first step to optimize the remaining parts. To do it, we
unroll and separate them. In case of, for instance, Intel Kaby Lake, it helps
to increase the performance of the generated code from 39.87 GFlop/s to
49.23 GFlop/s.

The next possible step is to avoid unrolling performed by Polly in case of
isolated and remaining parts and rely only on simple loop unrolling pass and
the Loop vectorizer.

Polly - Polyhedral optimizations for LLVM
-----------------------------------------
http://polly.llvm.org/

Polly uses a mathematical representation, the polyhedral model, to represent and
transform loops and other control flow structures. Using an abstract
representation it is possible to reason about transformations in a more general
way and to use highly optimized linear programming libraries to figure out the
optimal loop structure. These transformations can be used to do constant
propagation through arrays, remove dead loop iterations, optimize loops for
cache locality, optimize arrays, apply advanced automatic parallelization, drive
vectorization, or they can be used to do software pipelining.
