We first call mark_set_1 (... CLOBBER...) which kills the register.
Then we call mark_used_reg which makes it live again, and adds a
REG_DEAD note to the call.  This REG_DEAD note is wrong.  This confuses
combine into deleting the instruction because there is a REG_DEAD note
for it and no visible use of it after combination.  It doesn't seem
right to modify combine to treat REG_DEAD notes for global regs
specially.  I think we need to avoid adding the REG_DEAD note in the
first place.

Maybe what we should do here is call mark_set_reg (...SET...) for global
regs instead of mark_set_1 (...CLOBBER...).  I think this might work.  I
will try this.  I have some other easier patches to deal with, so I will
get back to this later.
