/// \file Break False Dependency pass.
///
/// Some instructions have false dependencies which cause unnecessary stalls.
/// For exmaple, instructions that only write part of a register, and implicitly
/// need to read the other parts of the register. This may cause unwanted
/// stalls preventing otherwise unrelated instructions from executing in
/// parallel in an out-of-order CPU.
/// This pass is aimed at identifying and avoiding these depepndencies when
/// possible.
