One potential problem is -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks not only
disables optimizations based on __nonnull, but also disables the
optimizations based on other provable non-null pointer values.  So maybe
we should run a benchmark to see if there is some severe degradation, if
there is any we may fix it by moving null checks away from hot paths.
