"For ARM stack frames that utilize variable sized objects and have either
large local stack areas or require dynamic stack realignment, allocate a
base register via which to access the local frame. This allows efficient
access to frame indices not accessible via the FP (either due to being out
of range or due to dynamic realignment) or the SP (due to variable sized
object allocation). In particular, this greatly improves efficiency of access
to spill slots in Thumb functions which contain VLAs."
r112986 fixed a latent bug exposed by the above.

have 4 bits per register in the operand encoding), but have undefined
behavior when the operand value is 13 or 15 (SP and PC, respectively).
The trivial coalescer in linear scan sometimes will merge a copy from
SP into a subsequent instruction which uses the copy, and if that
instruction cannot legally reference SP, we get bad code such as:
mls r0,r9,r0,sp
instead of:
mov r2, sp
mls r0, r9, r0, r2
This patch adds a new register class for use by Thumb2 that excludes
the problematic registers (SP and PC) and is used instead of GPR
for those operands which cannot legally reference PC or SP. The
trivial coalescer explicitly requires that the register class
of the destination for the COPY instruction contain the source
register for the COPY to be considered for coalescing. This prevents
errant instructions like that above.
