A top-level register class is one that has no sub-classes. It is
possible to have multiple top-level register classes in the same
register bank. For example, ARM's FPR bank has both D and Q top-level
register classes.
Number register classes such that all top-level register classes appear
as a contiguous sequence starting from 0. This will be used by the
register allocator when counting used registers per top-level register
class.
Add an abi module with code that is probably useful to all ISAs when
implementing this function.
Add a unit() method to RegClassData which can be used to index the
register units in a class.
Ensure that the set of register classes is closed under intersection.
Provide a RegClass::intersect() method which finds the register class
representing the intersection of two classes.
Generate a bit-mask of subclasses for each register class to be used by
the intersect() method.
Ensure that register classes are sorted topologically. This is also used
by the intersect() method.
This set of available register units also manages register aliasing in
an efficient way.
Detect if the units in a register straddles mask words. The algorithm
for allocating multi-unit registers expect the whole register to be
inside a single mask word. We could handle this if necessary, but so far
no ISAs need it.
