10 /// the target, by querying TargetTransformInfo. A hardware loop comprises of
11 /// two intrinsics: one, outside the loop, to set the loop iteration count and
12 /// another, in the exit block, to decrement the counter. The decremented value
13 /// can either be carried through the loop via a phi or handled in some opaque
