[x86] Teach the x86 backend that it can fold between TCRETURNm* and T…
…CRETURNr* and fix latent bugs with register class updates. Summary: Enabling this fully exposes a latent bug in the instruction folding: we never update the register constraints for the register operands when fusing a load into another operation. The fused form could, in theory, have different register constraints on its operands. And in fact, TCRETURNm* needs its memory operands to use tailcall compatible registers. I've updated the folding code to re-constrain all the registers after they are mapped onto their new instruction. However, we still can't enable folding in the general case from TCRETURNr* to TCRETURNm* because doing so may require more registers to be available during the tail call. If the call itself uses all but one register, and the folded load would require both a base and index register, there will not be enough registers to allocate the tail call. It would be better, IMO, to teach the register allocator to *unfold* TCRETURNm* when it runs out of registers (or specifically check the number of registers available during the TCRETURNr*) but I'm not going to try and solve that for now. Instead, I've just blocked the forward folding from r -> m, leaving LLVM free to unfold from m -> r as that doesn't introduce new register pressure constraints. The down side is that I don't have anything that will directly exercise this. Instead, I will be immediately using this it my SLH patch. =/ Still worse, without allowing the TCRETURNr* -> TCRETURNm* fold, I don't have any tests that demonstrate the failure to update the memory operand register constraints. This patch still seems correct, but I'm nervous about the degree of testing due to this. Suggestions?
