1. Be careful with cse "cheap" expressions. e.g. constant materialization. Only cse them when the common expression is local or in a direct predecessor. We don't want cse of cheap instruction causing other expressions to be spilled.
2. Watch out for the case where the expression doesn't itself uses a virtual register. e.g. lea of frame object. If the common expression itself is used by copies (common for passing addresses to function calls), don't perform the cse. Since these expressions do not use a register, it creates a live range but doesn't close any, we want to be very careful with increasing register pressure.
Note these are heuristics so machine cse doesn't make register allocator unhappy. Once we have proper live range splitting and re-materialization support in place, these should be evaluated again.
Now machine cse is almost always a win on llvm nightly tests on x86 and x86_64.

coalescer) handle sub-register classes.
- Add heuristics to avoid non-profitable cse. Given the current lack of live
range splitting, avoid cse when an expression has PHI use and the would be
new use is in a BB where the expression wasn't already being used.
