Well, that's reorg's problem. In between regrename and reorg.c, we have
a number of opportunities, such as pass_sched2, which use
df_set_flags (DF_LR_RUN_DCE);
df_note_add_problem ();
to recompute notes. If reorg.c wants accurate notes it should do the
same, especially since the scheduler (and presumably several other
passes) already makes no effort to update such notes. It seems this was
removed with the df merge:
* sched-rgn.c (check_dead_notes1, deaths_in_region): Removed.
(init_regions, add_block1): Removed last of note counting code.
