Partitioning is also quite problematic if you do not use cfglayout
mode.  For example, in shrink-wrapping.  It prevents a lot there.

Doing CFG manipulations on CFG RTL mode directly is almost impossible
to do correctly.

For example, bb-reorder.  Which is a much more important optimisation
than partitioning, btw.

I don't agree.  The whole way EDGE_CROSSING works hinders all other
optimisations a lot.
