Subject: Put int the getReg cast optimization from x86 so that we generate fewer
X-Git-Url: http://demsky.eecs.uci.edu/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=676dee6ae97587768f07f423e3c54057be014114;p=oota-llvm.git

Put int the getReg cast optimization from x86 so that we generate fewer
move instructions for the register allocator to coalesce.
