I still have misgivings about all the changes needed to the following passes, but I guess there's no choice but to live with it. So, I'm trying to look at this patch, but I'm finding it fairly impenetrable and underdocumented.

+  /* The concerns for which we want a prologue placed on this BB.  */
+  sbitmap pro_concern;
+
+  /* The concerns for which we placed code at the start of the BB.  */
+  sbitmap head_concern;

What's the difference?

+  /* The frequency of executing the prologue for this BB and all BBs
+     dominated by it.  */
+  gcov_type cost;

Is this frequency consideration the only thing that attempts to prevent placing prologue insns into loops?

+
+/* Destroy the pass-specific data.  */
+static void
+fini_separate_shrink_wrap (void)
+{
+  basic_block bb;
+  FOR_ALL_BB_FN (bb, cfun)
+    if (bb->aux)
+      {
+       sbitmap_free (SW (bb)->has_concern);
+       sbitmap_free (SW (bb)->pro_concern);
+       sbitmap_free (SW (bb)->head_concern);
+       sbitmap_free (SW (bb)->tail_concern);
+       free (bb->aux);
+       bb->aux = 0;
+      }
+}

Almost makes me want to ask for an sbitmap variant allocated on obstacks.

+      /* If this block does have the concern itself, or it is cheaper to
+         put the prologue here than in all the descendants that need it,
+        mark it so.  If it is the same cost, put it here if there is no
+        block reachable from this block that does not need the prologue.
+        The actual test is a bit more stringent but catches most cases.  */

There's some oddness here with the leading whitespace.

+/* Mark HAS_CONCERN for every block dominated by at least one block with
+   PRO_CONCERN set, starting at HEAD.  */

I see a lot of code dealing with the placement of prologue parts/concerns/components, but very little dealing with how to place epilogues, leading me to wonder whether we could do better wrt the latter. Shouldn't there be some mirror symmetry, i.e. spread_concerns_backwards?

+    {
+      if (first_visit)
+       {
+         bitmap_ior (SW (bb)->has_concern, SW (bb)->pro_concern, concern);
+
+         if (first_dom_son (CDI_DOMINATORS, bb))
+           {
+             concern = SW (bb)->has_concern;
+             bb = first_dom_son (CDI_DOMINATORS, bb);
+             continue;
+           }

Calling first_dom_son twice with the same args? More importantly, this first_visit business seems very confusing. I'd try to find a way to merge this if with the places that set first_visit to true. Also - instead of having a "continue;" here it seems the code inside the if represents an inner loop that should be written explicitly. There are two loops with such a structure.

+/* If we cannot handle placing some concern's prologues or epilogues where
+   we decided we should place them, unmark that concern in CONCERNS so
+   that it is not wrapped separately.  */
+static void
+disqualify_problematic_concerns (sbitmap concerns)
+{
+  sbitmap pro = sbitmap_alloc (SBITMAP_SIZE (concerns));
+  sbitmap epi = sbitmap_alloc (SBITMAP_SIZE (concerns));
+
+  basic_block bb;
+  FOR_EACH_BB_FN (bb, cfun)
+    {
+      edge e;
+      edge_iterator ei;
+      FOR_EACH_EDGE (e, ei, bb->succs)
+       {
+         bitmap_and_compl (epi, SW (e->src)->has_concern,
+                           SW (e->dest)->has_concern);
+         bitmap_and_compl (pro, SW (e->dest)->has_concern,
+                           SW (e->src)->has_concern);

What is the purpose of this?

+/* Place code for prologues and epilogues for CONCERNS where we can put
+   that code at the start of basic blocks.  */
+static void
+do_common_heads_for_concerns (sbitmap concerns)

The function name should probably have some combination of the strings emit_ and _at or _into to make it clear what it's doing. This and the following function have some logical operations on the bitmaps which are not explained anywhere. In general a much better overview of the intended operation of this pass is needed.

+       {
+         bitmap_and_compl (epi, SW (e->src)->has_concern,
+                           SW (e->dest)->has_concern);
+         bitmap_and_compl (pro, SW (e->dest)->has_concern,
+                           SW (e->src)->has_concern);
+         bitmap_and (epi, epi, concerns);
+         bitmap_and (pro, pro, concerns);
+         bitmap_and_compl (epi, epi, SW (e->dest)->head_concern);
+         bitmap_and_compl (pro, pro, SW (e->dest)->head_concern);
+         bitmap_and_compl (epi, epi, SW (e->src)->tail_concern);
+         bitmap_and_compl (pro, pro, SW (e->src)->tail_concern);

Likewise here.
