Description
Compiling particle_life with clang fails the validator with an error about llvm.loop.mustprogress
being invalid. This particular metadata node is newer than the version of LLVM that DXIL is based off of, so it makes sense that it's a problem.
We need to strip metadata that the DXIL validator (and thus, potentially, DXIL drivers) isn't aware of. This may be as simple as the following:

Here, we strip anything that isn't listed in DXC's set of pinned metadata names in LLVMContext.h
. We need to determine if this is the right granularity.
