CALL ... %RAX<imp-def>
... [not using %RAX]
%EAX = ..., %RAX<imp-use, kill>
RET %EAX<imp-use,kill>
Now we do this:
CALL ... %RAX<imp-def, dead>
... [not using %RAX]
%EAX = ...
RET %EAX<imp-use,kill>
By not artificially keeping %RAX alive, we lower register pressure a bit.
The correct number of instructions for 2008-08-05-SpillerBug.ll is obviously
55, anybody can see that. Sheesh.

For now, this pass is fairly conservative. It only perform the replacement when both the pre- and post- extension values are used in the block. It will miss cases where the post-extension values are live, but not used.

This helps us avoid silly copies when rematting values that are copied to a physical register:
leaq _.str44(%rip), %rcx
movq %rcx, %rsi
call _strcmp
becomes:
leaq _.str44(%rip), %rsi
call _strcmp
The coalescer will not touch the movq because that would tie down the physical register.

From linearscan's point of view, each of reg2036, 2037, and 2038 are separate registers, each is "killed" after a single use. The reloaded register is available and it's often clobbered right away. e.g. In thise case reg1498 is allocated EAX while reg2036 is allocated RAX. This means we end up with multiple reloads from the same stack slot in the same basic block.
Now linearscan recognize there are other reloads from same SS in the same BB. So it'll "downgrade" RAX (and its aliases) after reg2036 is allocated until the next reload (reg2037) is done. This greatly increase the likihood reloads from SS are reused.
This speeds up sha1 from OpenSSL by 5.8%. It is also an across the board win for SPEC2000 and 2006.
