unroll.c: Include predict.h.
* unroll.c: Include predict.h. (unroll_loop): Drop prediction notes on preconditioning. * predict.def (PRED_LOOP_PRECONDITIONG, PRED_LOOP_CONDITION): New; add comments on the others. * Makefile.in: (unroll.o): Add dependancy on predict.h. * loop.c (strength_reduce): Fix branch prediction. * stmt.c (emit_case_nodes): Optimize test whether index is in given interval. * predict.c (estimate_probability): Do not bail out early when note is present. (combine_predictions_for_insn): Fix note removal code. From-SVN: r43441
