- Change register allocation hint to a pair of unsigned integers. The hint type is zero (which means prefer the register specified as second part of the pair) or entirely target dependent.
- Allow targets to specify alternative register allocation orders based on allocation hint.
Part 2.
- Use the register allocation hint system to implement more aggressive load / store multiple formation.
- Aggressively form LDRD / STRD. These are formed *before* register allocation. It has to be done this way to shorten live interval of base and offset registers. e.g.
v1025 = LDR v1024, 0
v1026 = LDR v1024, 0
=>
v1025,v1026 = LDRD v1024, 0
If this transformation isn't done before allocation, v1024 will overlap v1025 which means it more difficult to allocate a register pair.
- Even with the register allocation hint, it may not be possible to get the desired allocation. In that case, the post-allocation load / store multiple pass must fix the ldrd / strd instructions. They can either become ldm / stm instructions or back to a pair of ldr / str instructions.
This is work in progress, not yet enabled.

consecutive addresses togther. This makes it easier for the post-allocation pass
to form ldm / stm.
This is step 1. We are still missing a lot of ldm / stm opportunities because
of register allocation are not done in the desired order. More enhancements
coming.

booleans. This gives a better indication of what the "addReg()" is
doing. Remembering what all of those booleans mean isn't easy, especially if you
aren't spending all of your time in that code.
I took Jakob's suggestion and made it illegal to pass in "true" for the
flag. This should hopefully prevent any unintended misuse of this (by reverting
to the old way of using addReg()).

that it is cheap and efficient to get.
Move a variety of predicates from TargetInstrInfo into
TargetInstrDescriptor, which makes it much easier to query a predicate
when you don't have TII around. Now you can use MI->getDesc()->isBranch()
instead of going through TII, and this is much more efficient anyway. Not
all of the predicates have been moved over yet.
Update old code that used MI->getInstrDescriptor()->Flags to use the
new predicates in many places.
