// This file implements a pass to automatically promote accessed memref regions
// to buffers in a faster memory space that is explicitly managed, with the
// necessary data movement operations performed through either regular
// point-wise load/store's or DMAs. Such explicit copying (also referred to as
// array packing/unpacking in the literature), when done on arrays that exhibit
// reuse, results in near elimination of conflict misses, TLB misses, reduced
// use of hardware prefetch streams, and reduced false sharing. It is also
// necessary for hardware that explicitly managed levels in the memory
// hierarchy, and where DMAs may have to be used. This optimization is often
// performed on already tiled code.
