[llvm-dev] Disable optimization on basic block level

[David Jones via llvm-dev]

It's not "artificial" code. It's real-world code for real applications,
generated by scripted code generators.

An example would be a very large Yacc/Bison grammar with many actions
inside the user-action switch statement.
