Add a avoidWriteAfterWrite() target hook to identify register classes that
suffer from write-after-write hazards. For those register classes, try to avoid
writing the same register in two consecutive instructions.
This is currently disabled by default. We should not spill to avoid hazards!
The command line flag -avoid-waw-hazard can be used to enable waw avoidance.

When a virtual register has a single value that is defined as a copy of a
reserved register, permit that copy to be joined. These virtual register are
usually copies of the stack pointer:
%vreg75<def> = COPY %ESP; GR32:%vreg75
MOV32mr %vreg75, 1, %noreg, 0, %noreg, %vreg74<kill>
MOV32mi %vreg75, 1, %noreg, 8, %noreg, 0
MOV32mi %vreg75<kill>, 1, %noreg, 4, %noreg, 0
CALLpcrel32 ...
Coalescing these virtual registers early decreases register pressure.
Previously, they were coalesced by RALinScan::attemptTrivialCoalescing after
register allocation was completed.
The lower register pressure causes the mcinst-lowering-cmp0.ll test case to fail
because it depends on linear scan spilling a particular register.
I am deleting 2008-08-05-SpillerBug.ll because it is counting the number of
instructions emitted, and its revision history shows the 'correct' count being
edited many times.

The SlotIndex created by the default construction does not represent a position
in the function, and it doesn't make sense to compare it to other indexes.

Linear scan regalloc is currently assuming that any register aliased with
a member of a regclass must also be in at least one regclass. That is not
always true. For example, for X86, RIP is in a regclass but IP is not.
If you're unlucky, this can cause a crash by invalidating the iterator.

proper SSA updating.
This doesn't cause MachineDominators to be recomputed since we are already
requiring MachineLoopInfo which uses dominators as well.

must be called in the pass's constructor. This function uses static dependency declarations to recursively initialize
the pass's dependencies.
Clients that only create passes through the createFooPass() APIs will require no changes. Clients that want to use the
CommandLine options for passes will need to manually call the appropriate initialization functions in PassInitialization.h
before parsing commandline arguments.
I have tested this with all standard configurations of clang and llvm-gcc on Darwin. It is possible that there are problems
with the static dependencies that will only be visible with non-standard options. If you encounter any crash in pass
registration/creation, please send the testcase to me directly.

perform initialization without static constructors AND without explicit initialization
by the client. For the moment, passes are required to initialize both their
(potential) dependencies and any passes they preserve. I hope to be able to relax
the latter requirement in the future.

The earliestStart argument is entirely specific to linear scan allocation, and
can be easily calculated by RegAllocLinearScan.
Replace std::vector with SmallVector.

EXTRACT_SUBREG no longer appears as a machine instruction. Use COPY instead.
Add isCopy() checks in many places using isMoveInstr() and isExtractSubreg().
The isMoveInstr hook will be removed later.

The coalescer is supposed to clean these up, but when setting up parameters
for a function call, there may be copies to physregs. If the defining
instruction has been LICM'ed far away, the coalescer won't touch it.
The register allocation hint does not always work - when the register
allocator is backtracking, it clears the hints.
This patch is more conservative than r90502, and does not break
483.xalancbmk/i686. It still breaks the PowerPC bootstrap, so it is disabled
by default, and can be enabled with the -trivial-coalesce-ends option.

When a call is placed to spill an interval this spiller will first try to
break the interval up into its component values. Single value intervals and
intervals which have already been split (or are the result of previous splits)
are spilled by the default spiller.
Splitting intervals as described above may improve the performance of generated
code in some circumstances. This work is experimental however, and it still
miscompiles many benchmarks. It's not recommended for general use yet.

This patch takes care of a few more cases that r90163 missed.
