So there's been talk of somehow integrating with jump threading.   The
big problem with that idea is jump threading is only concerned with
rearranging the CFG when doing so allows it to determine the result of a
conditional branch.

This is actually a generalized form of path splitting that we currently
do for loop latches.  You may find you can twiddle that code to do what
you want.

One of the things that falls out of that realization is that you have to
be very careful that this doesn't muck up if-conversion.
