instruction selector by adding a new pseudo-instruction
FP_REG_KILL. This instruction implicitly defines all x86 fp registers
and is a terminator so that passes which add machine code at the end
of basic blocks (like phi elimination) do not add instructions between
it and the branch or return instruction.

C is a constant which can be sign-extended from 8 bits without value loss,
and op is one of: add, sub, imul, and, or, xor.
This allows the JIT to emit the one byte version of the constant instead of
the two or 4 byte version. Because these instructions are very common, this
can save a LOT of code space. For example, I sampled two benchmarks, 176.gcc
and 254.gap.
BM Old New Reduction
176.gcc 2673621 2548962 4.89%
254.gap 498261 475104 4.87%
Note that while the percentage is not spectacular, this did eliminate
124.6 _KILOBYTES_ of codespace from gcc. Not bad.
Note that this doesn't effect the llc version at all, because the assembler
already does this optimization.

* Implement R1 = R2 * C where R1 and R2 are 32 or 16 bits. This avoids an
extra copy into a register, reducing register pressure.
