[Bug middle-end/37221] GCC for Cell SPU produces poor code when there is load-after-store in different loops

Andrew, thanks for your response and ideas.

>From what we see, if -funroll-loops is on, the loops:
for (j = 0; j < 4; j++)
            arr[j] = mat2[i][j];
 and 

for (k = 0; k < 3; k++)
                  point += (double) mat1[arr[l]][k];

are being unrolled by the early-unrolling (cunrolli pass, that Richard Guenther
has added).
I think, the problem is that the loop

for (j = 0; j < 4; j++)

is not being unrolled.
cunrolli doesn't recognize # of iterations = 4.
I think it doesn't recognize it starts from 0.
Maybe Richard could help us understand why. 

Hopefully, if that loop would be unrolled, the SRA will have the opportunity to
do the transformation we expect it to do.
