The register allocator can split a live interval of a register into a set
of smaller intervals. After the allocation of registers is complete, the
rewriter will modify the IR to replace virtual registers with the corres-
ponding physical registers. At this stage, if a register corresponding
to a subregister of a virtual register is used, the rewriter will check
if that subregister is undefined, and if so, it will add the <undef> flag
to the machine operand. The function verifying liveness of the subregis-
ter would assume that it is undefined, unless any of the subranges of the
live interval proves otherwise.
The problem is that the live intervals created during splitting do not
have any subranges, even if the original parent interval did. This could
result in the <undef> flag placed on a register that is actually defined.
