/// Machine model for scheduling, bundling, and heuristics.
///
/// The machine model directly provides basic information about the
/// microarchitecture to the scheduler in the form of properties. It also
/// optionally refers to scheduler resource tables and itinerary
/// tables. Scheduler resource tables model the latency and cost for each
/// instruction type. Itinerary tables are an independent mechanism that
/// provides a detailed reservation table describing each cycle of instruction
/// execution. Subtargets may define any or all of the above categories of data
/// depending on the type of CPU and selected scheduler.
///
/// The machine independent properties defined here are used by the scheduler as
/// an abstract machine model. A real micro-architecture has a number of
/// buffers, queues, and stages. Declaring that a given machine-independent
/// abstract property corresponds to a specific physical property across all
/// subtargets can't be done. Nonetheless, the abstract model is
/// useful. Futhermore, subtargets typically extend this model with processor
/// specific resources to model any hardware features that can be exploited by
/// sceduling heuristics and aren't sufficiently represented in the abstract.
///
/// The abstract pipeline is built around the notion of an "issue point". This
/// is merely a reference point for counting machine cycles. The physical
/// machine will have pipeline stages that delay execution. The scheduler does
/// not model those delays because they are irrelevant as long as they are
/// consistent. Inaccuracies arise when instructions have different execution
/// delays relative to each other, in addition to their intrinsic latency. Those
/// special cases can be handled by TableGen constructs such as, ReadAdvance,
/// which reduces latency when reading data, and ResourceCycles, which consumes
/// a processor resource when writing data for a number of abstract
/// cycles.
///
/// TODO: One tool currently missing is the ability to add a delay to
/// ResourceCycles. That would be easy to add and would likely cover all cases
/// currently handled by the legacy itinerary tables.
///
/// A note on out-of-order execution and, more generally, instruction
/// buffers. Part of the CPU pipeline is always in-order. The issue point, which
/// is the point of reference for counting cycles, only makes sense as an
/// in-order part of the pipeline. Other parts of the pipeline are sometimes
/// falling behind and sometimes catching up. It's only interesting to model
/// those other, decoupled parts of the pipeline if they may be predictably
/// resource constrained in a way that the scheduler can exploit.
///
/// The LLVM machine model distinguishes between in-order constraints and
/// out-of-order constraints so that the target's scheduling strategy can apply
/// appropriate heuristics. For a well-balanced CPU pipeline, out-of-order
/// resources would not typically be treated as a hard scheduling
/// constraint. For example, in the GenericScheduler, a delay caused by limited
/// out-of-order resources is not directly reflected in the number of cycles
/// that the scheduler sees between issuing an instruction and its dependent
/// instructions. In other words, out-of-order resources don't directly increase
/// the latency between pairs of instructions. However, they can still be used
/// to detect potential bottlenecks across a sequence of instructions and bias
/// the scheduling heuristics appropriately.

  // IssueWidth micro-ops can ever be scheduled in a particular cycle.
  //
  // In practice, IssueWidth is useful to model any bottleneck between the
  // decoder (after micro-op expansion) and the out-of-order reservation
  // stations or the decoder bandwidth itself. If the total number of
  // reservation stations is also a bottleneck, or if any other pipeline stage
