[LLVMdev] MachineBasicBlocks Cloning

[Micah Villmow]

Cloning a basic block should be a utility function that can be called from any machine pass.

That being said, it should only be responsible for cloning the basic block and not updating any analysis passes that were run on the basic block. Those should have to be rerun separately.
