Well, pass_ipa_profile is at IPA level what pass_profile does at tree level,
so we would need to rename both.  We could go with something like
guess_profile as opposed to read profile, unless we come with anything better.
gcov originales from coverage, indeed, but it is sort of used for the whole
profiling/feedback infrastructure.
I dunno what is better, both variants are fine with me.  Do we need to use _ 
instead
of - in pass names?  I quite dislike the -fdump-ipa-profile_estimate naming, so
I am usually trying to stick with one word pass names for this reason...
