Ok.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean.  LLVM is an SSA-based
representation, thus all of the transformations do what you say.

Jello was the code name for the Just-In-Time compiler and X86 backend when
it was under early development.  It has matured into a stable and reliable
X86 backend, and the Sparc code generator has been integrated in the JIT
as well.

These seem to be two different pieces of LLVM, can you rephrase your
question, I don't think I understood it.  :)
