Improvements to the Psi-SSA representation

Abstract: Modern compiler implementations use the Static Single Assignment representation as a way to efficiently implement optimizing algorithms. However this representation is not well adapted to architectures with a predicated instruction set. The Psi-SSA representation extends the SSA representation such that standard SSA algorithms can be easily adapted to an architecture with a fully predicated instruction set. A new pseudo operation, the Psi operation, is introduced to merge several conditional definitions into a unique definition.
