bootstrapping. It's not safe to leave identity subreg_to_reg and insert_subreg
around.
- Relax register scavenging to allow use of partially "not-live" registers. It's
common for targets to operate on registers where the top bits are undef. e.g.
s0 =
d0 = insert_subreg d0<undef>, s0, 1
...
= d0
When the insert_subreg is eliminated by the coalescer, the scavenger used to
complain. The previous fix was to keep to insert_subreg around. But that's
brittle and it's overly conservative when we want to use the scavenger to
allocate registers. It's actually legal and desirable for other instructions
to use the "undef" part of d0. e.g.
s0 =
d0 = insert_subreg d0<undef>, s0, 1
...
s1 =
= s1
= d0
We probably need add a "partial-undef" marker on machine operand so the
machine verifier would not complain.
