[LLVMdev] review request for patch

[Nick Lewycky]

Hi Ryan,

In this case there already is an implementation for this, it's just hard 
to find being in the internals of the LoopVR pass. I'm planning to pull 
the multiply and udiv support out of there.

Your patch looks good but beyond what Dan mentioned you have a bug 
calculating NewUpper: the constant ranges are half-open intervals where 
"[5, 10)" includes the value 9 but not 10. This means you need to 
subtract 1 before multiplying the uppers then add one on when you're 
done otherwise you end up with [5, 11) * [1, 3) = [5, 33) when it should 
equal [5, 21).
