1) For 8-bit registers try to use first the ones that are parts of the
same register (AL then AH). This way we only alias 2 16/32-bit
registers after allocating 4 8-bit variables.
2) Move EBX as the last register to allocate. This will cause less
spills to happen since we will have 8-bit registers available up to
register excaustion (assuming we use the allocation order). It
would be nice if we could push all of the 8-bit aliased registers
towards the end but we much prefer to keep callee saved register to
the end to avoid saving them on entry and exit of the function.
For example this gives a slight reduction of spills with linear scan
on 164.gzip.
Before:
11221 asm-printer - Number of machine instrs printed
975 spiller - Number of loads added
675 spiller - Number of stores added
398 spiller - Number of register spills
After:
11182 asm-printer - Number of machine instrs printed
952 spiller - Number of loads added
652 spiller - Number of stores added
386 spiller - Number of register spills

their names more decriptive. A name consists of the base name, a
default operand size followed by a character per operand with an
optional special size. For example:
ADD8rr -> add, 8-bit register, 8-bit register
IMUL16rmi -> imul, 16-bit register, 16-bit memory, 16-bit immediate
IMUL16rmi8 -> imul, 16-bit register, 16-bit memory, 8-bit immediate
MOVSX32rm16 -> movsx, 32-bit register, 16-bit memory

parse. The name is now I (operand size)*. For example:
Im32 -> instruction with 32-bit memory operands.
Im16i8 -> instruction with 16-bit memory operands and 8 bit immediate
operands.

the size of the immediate and the memory operand on instructions that
use them. This resolves problems with instructions that take both a
memory and an immediate operand but their sizes differ (i.e. ADDmi32b).

an 8-bit immediate. So mark the shifts that take immediates as taking
an 8-bit argument. The rest with the implicit use of CL are marked
appropriately.
A bug still exists:
def SHLDmri32 : I2A8 <"shld", 0xA4, MRMDestMem>, TB; // [mem32] <<= [mem32],R32 imm8
The immediate in the above instruction is 8-bit but the memory
reference is 32-bit. The printer prints this as an 8-bit reference
which confuses the assembler. Same with SHRDmri32.

Functions with linkonce linkage are declared with weak linkage.
Global floating point constants used to represent unprintable values
(such as NaN and infinity) are declared static so that they don't interfere
with other CBE generated translation units.
