The following page has been changed by Mikhail Fursov:

New page:
''' 'peephole' ''' Performs various architecture specific per-Inst optimizations.
[[BR]]
The transformation performs simple local (per-BB) or per-Inst optimizations
[[BR]][[BR]]
Some of them include:
[[BR]]
{{{
1) Inlined F2I conversion

2) A better instructions selection:
    Change 32bit immediate values to 8bit in ALU instructions
    MOVSS/MOVSD replaced with MOVQ
    MOVSS/MOVSD xmm, [memconst=0.] => PXOR xmm, xmm
}}}
[[BR]]
It's recommended to have 2 passes of peephole: 
[[BR]]the first one before a register allocator - to inline the conversions and provide more
opportunities for further optimization. 
[[BR]]And the second one - after the register allocator to improve the instructions selection.
