[PATCH] A pass which merges constant stores to bitfields

[Andrew Pinski <andrew dot pinski at caviumnetworks dot com>]

Hi,
  I know we are in stage3, I thought I would send this out now for
review as I finally have it ready for consumption as I finally got
around to removing the limitation of it only working on big-endian.
This pass was originally written by Adam Nemet while he was at Cavium.
 I modified it to work on little-endian and also update the code to
use the aliasing oracle and some of the new VEC interface.

Yes I know I forgot to add documentation for the new option and for
the new pass.  I will add it soon.

Thanks,
Andrew Pinski
