Paolo,
This is a updated patch 1, which does everything except adding
PREFERRED_RENAME_CLASS.  It is a separate improvement to
register-rename, and can be in first.

Regression tested on x86_64-unknow-linux-gnu.  No regression.  OK to
mainline?

Patch 2(adds PREFERRED_RENAME_CLASS to docs and code) and patch 3(adds
the macro to the ARM backend) will be done soon.

Fixed.

Yeah, it can be simpler, but the code above is not correct, because
outer do-while loop may be endless.  Mine is like this:
  do
    {
      struct du_head **segment = head;
      
      while ((last_tail = merge(segment, current_length, cmp)) 
            != NULL)
       {
         segment = &last_tail->next_chain;
       }
      current_length *= 2;
    }
  while (last_tail);
