Running the attached testcase with trunk r131577 on SPU
with -dm -fmodulo-sched -O2 flags (which enables also do-loop optimization)
demonstartes the fact that the branch probability is not reserved with do-loop
optimization.
This causes a major preformance regression (of about 40%) when tested with some
similar benchmark as there is no hardware branch prediction on SPU.
