This didn't work. I was ending up with code like this:
lea edi,[esi+38h]
mov ecx,0Fh
mov edx,esi
mov esi,ebx
rep movs dword ptr es:[edi],dword ptr [esi]
lea ecx,[esi+74h] <-- Ooops, we're now using esi before restoring it from edx.
add ebx,3Ch
mov esi,edx
I guess if we want to do this we need stronger glue or something, or doing the expansion
much later.

For functions where esi is used as base pointer, we would previously fall back
from lowering memcpy with "rep movs" because that clobbers esi.
With this patch, we just store esi in another physical register, and restore
it afterwards. This adds a little bit of register preassure, but the more
efficient memcpy should be worth it.

selection dag (PR19012)
In X86SelectionDagInfo::EmitTargetCodeForMemcpy we check with MachineFrameInfo
to make sure that ESI isn't used as a base pointer register before we choose to
emit rep movs (which clobbers esi).
The problem is that MachineFrameInfo wouldn't know about dynamic allocas or
inline asm that clobbers the stack pointer until SelectionDAGBuilder has
encountered them.
This patch fixes the problem by checking for such things when building the
FunctionLoweringInfo.
