Patches should go to gcc-patches instead of the gcc list.

If you want us to continue accepting patches from you, then you need to 
fill out a copyright assignment form.

Recursively calling instantiate_virtual_regs_in_insn does not look 
right.  We need a better explanation of what is going wrong here.  Since 
we don't have a copy of your port, you will have to explain in detail 
what happens as virtual register instantiation is happening, in order to 
explain how this occurs.  Normally, we would ask for a testcase, but 
that won't work in this case.

It is also possible that this is a bug in your port, if you are 
accidentally emitting the virtual register yourself somehow during or 
after virtual register instantiation.

I know of one PR that has since been filed for a problem with the new 
virtual register instantiation code.  That is PR 21328.  This doesn't 
appear to be related.
