Well, it depends on definition of the word "work" :)
It a sense of not ICEing it works, in a sense of giving meaningful cost
model it does not.

Well, regclass is not able to work out all details (it always assumes
worst case for union classes), but in your case it seems you got
something wrong.
ALL_REGS even if it contains hard regs such as stack pointers and
virtual frame pointers, they are fixed and should not cause much harm to
you. Can you send a bit more details how your classes/costs are set up?

Hmm, if we can find good reason for register move cost to trick the
infinity cost as you want to do, we can probably relax the assert and
document 65535 as infinity.
