useful when you have a reference like:
int A[100];
void foo() { A[10] = 1; }
In this case, &A[10] is a single constant and should be treated as such.
Only MO_GlobalAddress and MO_ExternalSymbol are allowed to use this field, no
other operand type is.
This is another fine patch contributed by Jeff Cohen!!

The problem occurred when trying to reload this instruction:
MOV32mr %reg2326, 8, %reg2297, 4, %reg2295
The value of reg2326 was available in EBX, so it was reused from there, instead
of reloading it into EDX.
The value of reg2297 was available in EDX, so it was reused from there, instead
of reloading it into EDI.
The value of reg2295 was not available, so we tried reloading it into EBX, its
assigned register. However, we checked and saw that we already reloaded
something into EBX, so we chose what reg2326 was assigned to (EDX) and reloaded
into that register instead.
Unfortunately EDX had already been used by reg2297, so reloading into EDX
clobbered the value used by the reg2326 operand, breaking the program.
The fix for this is to check that the newly picked register is ok. In this
case we now find that EDX is already used and try using EDI, which succeeds.

it was a use, def, or both. This allows us to be less pessimistic in our
analysis of them. In practice, this doesn't make a big difference, but it
doesn't hurt either.

and delete them if they turn out to be dead. This is a useful little hack
that even speeds up some programs. For example, it speeds up Ptrdist/ks
from 17.53s to 15.59s, and 188.ammp from 149s to 146s.
This also speeds up llc :)

generated code over the simple spiller. The new local spiller generates
substantially better code than the simple one in some cases, by reusing
values that are loaded out of stack slots and kept available in registers.
This primarily helps programs that are spilling a lot, and there is still
stuff that can be done to improve it. This patch makes the local spiller
the default, as it's only a tiny bit slower than the simple spiller (it
increases the runtime of llc by < 1%).
Here are some numbers with speedups.

two spillers produce perfectly identical code (at least on povray and eon),
but the simple spiller is substantially faster than the local spiller. Once
the local spiller is improved, we can switch back.
Switching cuts 5.2% off of the llc time for povray (about 1.3s).
llvm-svn: 16608
use a simple vector. This speeds up -spiller=simple from taking 22s to taking
.1s on povray (debug build). This change does not modify the generated code.
