Summary:
This results in higher register usage, but should make it easier for
the compiler to hide latency.
This pass is a prerequisite for some more scheduler improvements, and I
think the increase register usage with this patch is acceptable, because
when combined with the scheduler improvements, the total register usage
will decrease.
