/// \file This file describes the interface of the Localizer pass.
/// This pass moves/duplicates constant-like instructions close to their uses.
/// Its primarily goal is to workaround the deficiencies of the fast register
/// allocator.
/// With GlobalISel constants are all materialized in the entry block of
/// a function. However, the fast allocator cannot rematerialize constants and
/// has a lot more live-ranges to deal with and will most likely end up
/// spilling a lot.
/// By pushing the constants close to their use, we only create small
/// live-ranges.
