scavenger gets confused about register liveness if it doesn't see them.
I'm not thrilled with this solution, but it only comes up when there are dead
copies in the code, which is something that hopefully doesn't happen much.
Here is what happens in pr4100: As shown in the following excerpt from the
debug output of llc, the source of a move gets reloaded from the stack,
inserting a new load instruction before the move. Since that source operand
is a kill, the physical register is free to be reused for the destination
of the move. The move ends up being a no-op, copying R3 to R3, so it is
deleted. But, it leaves behind the load to reload %reg1028 into R3, and
that load is not updated to show that it's destination operand (R3) is dead.
The scavenger gets confused by that load because it thinks that R3 is live.
Starting RegAlloc of: %reg1025<def,dead> = MOVr %reg1028<kill>, 14, %reg0, %reg0
Regs have values:
Reloading %reg1028 into R3
Last use of R3[%reg1028], removing it from live set
Assigning R3 to %reg1025
Register R3 [%reg1025] is never used, removing it from live set
Alternative solutions might be either marking the load as dead, or zapping
the load along with the no-op copy. I couldn't see an easy way to do
either of those, though.

of returning a list of pointers to Values that are deleted. This was
unsafe, because the pointers in the list are, by nature of what
RecursivelyDeleteDeadInstructions does, always dangling. Replace this
with a simple callback mechanism. This may eventually be removed if
all clients can reasonably be expected to use CallbackVH.
Use this to factor out the dead-phi-cycle-elimination code from LSR
utility function, and generalize it to use the
RecursivelyDeleteTriviallyDeadInstructions utility function.
This makes LSR more aggressive about eliminating dead PHI cycles;
adjust tests to either be less trivial or to simply expect fewer
instructions.

have pointer types, though in contrast to C pointer types, SCEV
addition is never implicitly scaled. This not only eliminates the
need for special code like IndVars' EliminatePointerRecurrence
and LSR's own GEP expansion code, it also does a better job because
it lets the normal optimizations handle pointer expressions just
like integer expressions.
Also, since LLVM IR GEPs can't directly index into multi-dimensional
VLAs, moving the GEP analysis out of client code and into the SCEV
framework makes it easier for clients to handle multi-dimensional
VLAs the same way as other arrays.
Some existing regression tests show improved optimization.
test/CodeGen/ARM/2007-03-13-InstrSched.ll in particular improved to
the point where if-conversion started kicking in; I turned it off
for this test to preserve the intent of the test.

register destinations that are tied to source operands. The
TargetInstrDescr::findTiedToSrcOperand method silently fails for inline
assembly. The existing MachineInstr::isRegReDefinedByTwoAddr was very
close to doing what is needed, so this revision makes a few changes to
that method and also renames it to isRegTiedToUseOperand (for consistency
with the very similar isRegTiedToDefOperand and because it handles both
two-address instructions and inline assembly with tied registers).

- When scavenging a register, in addition to the spill, insert a restore before the first use.
- Abort if client is looking to scavenge a register even when a previously scavenged register is still live.

If local spiller optimization turns some instruction into an identity copy, it will be removed. If the output register happens to be dead (and source is obviously killed), transfer the kill / dead information to last use / def in the same MBB.
