Previously, the regalloc required all liveins to be defined by a pseudoinstruction at the start of the function body. The regalloc.rs compatibility shim did this, but it's slightly inconvenient when using the API directly. This change allows pinned vregs to be implicit liveins to the function body instead.
regalloc2: another register allocator
This is a register allocator that started life as, and is about 50% still, a port of IonMonkey's backtracking register allocator to Rust. In many regards, it has been generalized, optimized, and improved since the initial port, and now supports both SSA and non-SSA use-cases.
In addition, it contains substantial amounts of testing infrastructure (fuzzing harnesses and checkers) that does not exist in the original IonMonkey allocator.
See the design overview for (much!) more detail on how the allocator works.
