I've just fixed a similar bug on the ARM. It was quite easy, just add a
definition of HARD_REGNO_RENAME_OK(FROM,TO) that blocks the change when
necessary (eg return register not stacked). Only minor difficulty was
that the macro isn't documented and I had to grub around in the source to
find it (Grrrr!).
