sub-register indices and outputs a single super register which is formed from
a consecutive sequence of registers.
This is used as register allocation / coalescing aid and it is useful to
represent instructions that output register pairs / quads. For example,
v1024, v1025 = vload <address>
where v1024 and v1025 forms a register pair.
This really should be modelled as
v1024<3>, v1025<4> = vload <address>
but it would violate SSA property before register allocation is done.
Currently we use insert_subreg to form the super register:
v1026 = implicit_def
v1027 - insert_subreg v1026, v1024, 3
v1028 = insert_subreg v1027, v1025, 4
...
= use v1024
= use v1028
But this adds pseudo live interval overlap between v1024 and v1025.
We can now modeled it as
v1024, v1025 = vload <address>
v1026 = REG_SEQUENCE v1024, 3, v1025, 4
...
= use v1024
= use v1026
After coalescing, it will be
v1026<3>, v1025<4> = vload <address>
...
= use v1026<3>
= use v1026
