I don't know which of the loop linear transformations you folks were
debating (the loop linear stuff defines a family of transformations),
but I vote for having no experimental features in releases.

If a feature is meant to be activated with -Ox or with -f/-m switches,
it should only be present in a release if we are prepared to support it.

In this case, based on Dan's analysis I vote for moving the non-working
code into a branch and allow it to mature.  Particularly, if it has not
been around for long.

Alternately, we could have a sanitization process during releases that
enables a warning message inside the gate_*() functions for experimental
passes.  But, not every feature can be enabled/disabled with a gating
function and it becomes a slippery slope.
