I did proposed to attach the info to rtl reg. It is more difficult way
than the current approach because of code sharing before the reload.
But may be it is more rewarding. To be honest I don't know.
Changing the dataflow solvers is one thing. Changing a fundamental
assumption in the compiler, namely that pseudoregs are shared, is
another. We rely on that property in so many places. It would not
require rewriting parts of the compiler, but rewriting the entire
backend.
