+/// \brief Attempt to rotate a loop based on profile data to reduce branch cost.
+///
+/// With profile data, we can determine the cost in terms of missed fall through
+/// opportunities when rotating a loop chain and select the best rotation.
+/// Basically, there are three kinds of cost to consider for each rotation:
+/// 1. The possibly missed fall through edge (if it exists) from BB out of
+/// the loop to the loop header.
+/// 2. The possibly missed fall through edges (if they exist) from the loop
+/// exits to BB out of the loop.
+/// 3. The missed fall through edge (if it exists) from the last BB to the
+/// first BB in the loop chain.
+/// Therefore, the cost for a given rotation is the sum of costs listed above.
+/// We select the best rotation with the smallest cost.
