Summary

The primary thing that this accomplishes is to allow future re-use of
these routines in more contexts and clarify the behavior w.r.t. loops.
For example, if handling outer loops is desirable, doing so in
a inside-out order becomes straight forward because it walks the loop
nest itself (rather than walking the function's basic blocks) and
de-couples the CMOV rewriting from the loop structure as there isn't
actually anything loop-specific about this transformation.

This patch should be essentially a no-op. It potentially changes the
order in which we visit the inner loops, but otherwise should merely set
the stage for subsequent changes.

The code looks good, just few comments need to be fixed/added (see below)

You are calling "Loops.size()" every iteration intentionally, as you want to handle the just new added sub-loops.
Do not you think we should comment on that, so nobody will optimize this by saving the initial "size()" once and check against it later?
