At the time I wrote the patch I was more interested in pseudos. I
expect that powerpc64 won't be greatly affected if hard regs were
excluded from this fwprop optimization, but you need to discuss your
patch with maintainers of this code. My opinion as a one-time
contributor to fwprop doesn't count for much.
