		// 1: x = (Phi y)
		//    y = (Add x 1)
		//    goto 1
		// If we replace Phi->Copy, we get
		// 1: x = (Copy y)
		//    y = (Add x 1)
		//    goto 1
		// (Phi y) refers to the *previous* value of y, whereas
		// (Copy y) refers to the *current* value of y.
		// The modified code has a cycle and the scheduler
		// will barf on it.
		//
		// Fortunately, this situation can only happen for dead
		// code loops. We know the code we're working with is
		// not dead, so we're ok.
		// Proof: If we have a potential bad cycle, we have a
		// situation like this:
		//   x = (Phi z)
		//   y = (op1 x ...)
		//   z = (op2 y ...)
		// Where opX are not Phi ops. But such a situation
		// implies a cycle in the dominator graph. In the
		// example, x.Block dominates y.Block, y.Block dominates
		// z.Block, and z.Block dominates x.Block (treating
		// "dominates" as reflexive).  Cycles in the dominator
		// graph can only happen in an unreachable cycle.
