registers it defines then interfere with an existing preg live range.
For instance, if we had something like these machine instructions:
BB#0
... = imul ... EFLAGS<imp-def,dead>
test ..., EFLAGS<imp-def>
jcc BB#2 EFLAGS<imp-use>
BB#1
... ; fallthrough to BB#2
BB#2
... ; No code that defines EFLAGS
jcc ... EFLAGS<imp-use>
Machine sink will come along, see that imul implicitly defines EFLAGS, but
because it's "dead", it assumes that it can move imul into BB#2. But when it
does, imul's "dead" imp-def of EFLAGS is raised from the dead (a zombie) and
messes up the condition code for the jump (and pretty much anything else which
relies upon it being correct).
The solution is to know which pregs are live going into a basic block. However,
that information isn't calculated at this point. Nor does the LiveVariables pass
take into account non-allocatable physical registers. In lieu of this, we do a
*very* conservative pass through the basic block to determine if a preg is live
coming out of it.

expansion is the same as that used by LegalizeDAG.
The resulting code sucks in terms of performance/codesize on x86-32 for a
64-bit operation; I haven't looked into whether different expansions might be
better in general.

spills and reloads.
This means that a partial define of a register causes a reload so the other
parts of the register are preserved.
The reload can be prevented by adding an <imp-def> operand for the full
register. This is already done by the coalescer and live interval analysis where
relevant.

register updates.
These operands tell the spiller that the other parts of the partially defined
register are don't-care, and a reload is not necessary.

instruction defines subregisters.
Any existing subreg indices on the original instruction are preserved or
composed with the new subreg index.
Also substitute multiple operands mentioning the original register by using the
new MachineInstr::substituteRegister() function. This is necessary because there
will soon be <imp-def> operands added to non read-modify-write partial
definitions. This instruction:
%reg1234:foo = FLAP %reg1234<imp-def>
will reMaterialize(%reg3333, bar) like this:
%reg3333:bar-foo = FLAP %reg333:bar<imp-def>
Finally, replace the TargetRegisterInfo pointer argument with a reference to
indicate that it cannot be NULL.

OSX users: make sure that CrashReporter is disabled when running unit tests.
Death tests are enabled now so you'll get a ton of message boxes.
