/// \file
/// Armv8.1m introduced MVE, M-Profile Vector Extension, and low-overhead
/// branches to help accelerate DSP applications. These two extensions,
/// combined with a new form of predication called tail-predication, can be used
/// to provide implicit vector predication within a low-overhead loop.
/// This is implicit because the predicate of active/inactive lanes is
/// calculated by hardware, and thus does not need to be explicitly passed
/// to vector instructions. The instructions responsible for this are the
/// DLSTP and WLSTP instructions, which setup a tail-predicated loop and the
/// the total number of data elements processed by the loop. The loop-end
/// LETP instruction is responsible for decrementing and setting the remaining
/// elements to be processed and generating the mask of active lanes.
///
/// The HardwareLoops pass inserts intrinsics identifying loops that the
/// backend will attempt to convert into a low-overhead loop. The vectorizer is
/// responsible for generating a vectorized loop in which the lanes are
/// predicated upon an get.active.lane.mask intrinsic. This pass looks at these
/// get.active.lane.mask intrinsic and attempts to convert them to VCTP
/// instructions. This will be picked up by the ARM Low-overhead loop pass later
/// in the backend, which performs the final transformation to a DLSTP or WLSTP
/// tail-predicated loop.
