Learning to Superoptimize real-world programs

This sounds really promising. Could this be extended to other kinds of optimizations, eg data layout for memory traffic reduction?

Almost definitely, only rub is that the compiler isn't allowed to do anything hugely funky with memory layout in C/C++ esque languages.

Yes, those are lost causes if they can't ride the as-if optimization rule. But if the assembly language modules just have to return same outputs for same inputs...
