When compiling a program with lots of small functions like
483.xalancbmk, this makes RAFast 11% faster.
Add some comments to clarify the difference between unallocatable and
reserved registers. It's quite subtle.
The fast register allocator depends on EFLAGS' not being allocatable on
x86. That way it can completely avoid tracking liveness, and it won't
mind when there are multiple uses of a single def.

I was confused whether new uint8_t[] would zero-initialize the returned
array, and it seems that so is gcc-4.0.
This should fix the test failures on darwin 9.

register classes.
It provides information for each register class that cannot be
determined statically, like:
- The number of allocatable registers in a class after filtering out the
reserved and invalid registers.
- The preferred allocation order with registers that overlap callee-saved
registers last.
- The last callee-saved register that overlaps a given physical register.
This information usually doesn't change between functions, so it is
reused for compiling multiple functions when possible. The many
possible combinations of reserved and callee saves registers makes it
unfeasible to compute this information statically in TableGen.
Use RegisterClassInfo to count available registers in various heuristics
in SimpleRegisterCoalescing, making the pass run 4% faster.
