// This pass turns explicit null checks of the form
//
//   test %r10, %r10
//   je throw_npe
//   movl (%r10), %esi
//   ...
//
// to
//
//   faulting_load_op("movl (%r10), %esi", throw_npe)
//   ...
//
// With the help of a runtime that understands the .fault_maps section,
// faulting_load_op branches to throw_npe if executing movl (%r10), %esi incurs
// a page fault.
