on the same condition.

+/// Improve scheduling by coalescing branches that depend on the same condition.
+/// This pass looks for blocks that are guarded by the same branch condition
+/// and attempts to merge the blocks together. Such opportunities arise from
+/// the expansion of select statements in the IR.
+///
+/// For example, consider the following LLVM IR:
+///
+/// %test = icmp eq i32 %x 0
+/// %tmp1 = select i1 %test, double %a, double 2.000000e-03
+/// %tmp2 = select i1 %test, double %b, double 5.000000e-03
+///
+/// This IR expands to the following machine code on PowerPC:
+///
+/// BB#0: derived from LLVM BB %entry
+///    Live Ins: %F1 %F3 %X6
+///        <SNIP1>
+///        %vreg0<def> = COPY %F1; F8RC:%vreg0

+///                    F8RC:%vreg9,%vreg8,%vreg0
+///        <SNIP2>

+///
+/// When this pattern is detected, branch coalescing will try to collapse
+/// it by moving code in BB#2 to BB#0 and/or BB#4 and removing BB#3.
