I also saw a case last week where the induction variable is <= imax(thing, 4) and it'd be nice to unroll those too.

That is an interesting one. It means we could do a simple unroll for the first 4 iterations i.e no if statements required, which is a bit of a different use case from the new functions introduced in this series but shouldn't bee too hard to do.

    This series add support for partial loop unrolling for loops with an
    unknown trip count. The new partial_unroll function allows the caller
    to specifiy how may times the loop should be unrolled and then the
    loop is inserted in the innermost continue branch of the unrolled loop.

    For now we only do partial unrolling for loops where we can guess the
    iteration count based on array access that uses an induction variable
    as its index (see patch 7).

    Patches 1-6 are tidy-ups/refactors.

    Patch 7 adds a method for guessing the trip count for the loop.

    Patch 8 adds partial unrolling support and also support for removing
    redundant load/stores from the remaining loop when considering if
    we would be accessing an array out bounds.
