Agree that experimentation should be done with local changes to LLVM.

Options like these tend to get added and never removed, even if they have 
outlived their usefulness. I could kind of see the rationale for adding it to 
LoopRotate (which is well-known to be problematic in this regard, and it's 
plausible to assume that more than one organization would have interest in 
testing the option), but I wouldn't want to encourage this as a general pattern 
for exploration of minsize optimization changes.
