When a live interval is being spilled, rather than creating short, non-spillable
intervals for every def / use, split the interval at BB boundaries. That is, for
every BB where the live interval is defined or used, create a new interval that
covers all the defs and uses in the BB.
This is designed to eliminate one common problem: multiple reloads of the same
value in a single basic block. Note, it does *not* decrease the number of spills
since no copies are inserted so the split intervals are *connected* through
spill and reloads (or rematerialization). The newly created intervals can be
spilled again, in that case, since it does not span multiple basic blocks, it's
spilled in the usual manner. However, it can reuse the same stack slot as the
previously split interval.
This is currently controlled by -split-intervals-at-bb.

Turn this:
movswl %ax, %eax
movl %eax, -36(%ebp)
xorl %edi, -36(%ebp)
into
movswl %ax, %eax
xorl %edi, %eax
movl %eax, -36(%ebp)
by unfolding the load / store xorl into an xorl and a store when we know the
value in the spill slot is available in a register. This doesn't change the
number of instructions but reduce the number of times memory is accessed.
Also unfold some load folding instructions and reuse the value when similar
situation presents itself.

rework the hacks that had us passing OStream in. We pass in std::ostream*
instead, check for null, and then dispatch to the correct print() method.

actually *removes* one of the operands, instead of just assigning both operands
the same register. This make reasoning about instructions unnecessarily complex,
because you need to know if you are before or after register allocation to match
up operand #'s with the target description file.
Changing this also gets rid of a bunch of hacky code in various places.
This patch also includes changes to fold loads into cmp/test instructions in
the X86 backend, along with a significant simplification to the X86 spill
folding code.

instructions in the virtregfolded map that were deleted. Because they
were deleted, newly allocated instructions could end up at the same address,
magically finding themselves in the map. The solution is to remove entries
from the map when we delete the instructions.

But this is incorrect if the spilled value live range extends beyond the
current BB.
It is currently controlled by a temporary option -spiller-check-liveout.

it was a use, def, or both. This allows us to be less pessimistic in our
analysis of them. In practice, this doesn't make a big difference, but it
doesn't hurt either.

Move include/Config and include/Support into include/llvm/Config,
include/llvm/ADT and include/llvm/Support. From here on out, all LLVM
public header files must be under include/llvm/.

allocator.
The implementation is completely rewritten and now employs several
optimizations not exercised before. For example for 164.gzip we have
997 loads and 699 stores vs the 1221 loads and 880 stores we have
before.
