1. If part of a register is re-defined, an implicit kill and an implicit def are added to denote read / mod / write. However, this should only be necessary if the register is actually read later. This is a performance issue.
2. If a sub-register is being defined, and it doesn't have a previous use, do not add a implicit kill to the last use of a super-register:
= EAX, AX<imp-use,kill>
...
AX =
In this case, EAX is live but AX is killed, this is wrong and will cause the coalescer to do bad things.
