    The primary advantage is that loop optimizations will be applied in a
    stable order. This helps debugging and unit test creation. It is also
    a better overall implementation without pathologically bad performance
    on deep functions.
    
    On large functions (llvm-stress --size=200000 | opt -loops)
    Before: 0.1263s

    On deep functions (after tweaking llvm-stress, thanks Nadav):

    The loop tree is now consistently generated in forward order, but loop
    passes are applied in reverse order over the program. If we have a
    loop optimization that prefers forward order, that can easily be
    achieved by adding a different type of LoopPassManager.
