If FRAME_POINTER_REQUIRED is 0, and ELIMINABLE_REGS is defined, and
CAN_ELIMINATE (FRAME_POINTER_REGNUM, HARD_FRAME_POINTER_REGNUM) returns
0, then the register should not be eliminated.

I may have gotten confused about what you want.  Do you want
FRAME_POINTER_REGNUM replaced by HARD_FRAME_POINTER_REGNUM or not?  If
you do want it replaced, then CAN_ELIMINATE must return 1 for that case.
If you do not want it eliminated, then I think that both must be real
registers.
