This commmit adds support for adding prologue and/or epilogue function calls for a code block via the pragma schedule. A dummy use can be found here: https://gist.github.com/KireinaHoro/c959170557d75d81c52c116c3750d78a
The addition is proposed to support better control in the generated code when using the tensorize and inline asm flows to do codegen for something like Gemmini, which requires explicit
fence
instructions to block the execution flow until data has been fully flushed back to DRAM. With this change an external function that does thefence
can be placed in the epilogue of a computation. The prologue pragma may be useful in similar situations when a device needs some sort of initialization, and is added for symmetry.
