Some register classes are only used for instruction operand constraints.
They should never be used for virtual registers. Previously, those
register classes were given an empty allocation order, but now you can
say 'let isAllocatable=0' in the register class definition.
TableGen calculates if a register is part of any allocatable register
class, and makes that information available in TargetRegisterDesc::inAllocatableClass.
The goal here is to eliminate use cases for overriding allocation_order_*
methods.

On the x86-64 and thumb2 targets, some registers are more expensive to encode
than others in the same register class.
Add a CostPerUse field to the TableGen register description, and make it
available from TRI->getCostPerUse. This represents the cost of a REX prefix or a
32-bit instruction encoding required by choosing a high register.
Teach the greedy register allocator to prefer cheap registers for busy live
ranges (as indicated by spill weight).

structure that represents a mapping without any dependencies on SubRegIndex
numbering.
This brings us closer to being able to remove the explicit SubRegIndex
numbering, and it is now possible to specify any mapping without inventing
*_INVALID register classes.

and better control the abstraction. Rename the type
to MVT. To update out-of-tree patches, the main
thing to do is to rename MVT::ValueType to MVT, and
rewrite expressions like MVT::getSizeInBits(VT) in
the form VT.getSizeInBits(). Use VT.getSimpleVT()
to extract a MVT::SimpleValueType for use in switch
statements (you will get an assert failure if VT is
an extended value type - these shouldn't exist after
type legalization).
This results in a small speedup of codegen and no
new testsuite failures (x86-64 linux).
