Place the GEP instructions nearer to the instructions which use them.
GEP instructions are there for the compiler and shouldn't really output much code (if any at all). When a GEP is stored in the entry block, Fast ISel (for one) will not know that it could fold it into further uses. For instance, inside of the EH handling code. This results in a lot of unnecessary spills and loads which bloat code and slows down pretty much everything. <rdar://problem/10694814> llvm-svn: 149114
