CCV, PFS, and UNAT are call used; SP FP RA LC EC are call saved.

That's one part of it.  The other part is that you'd need to 
update all of the backends.

Suggest you always define this array, falling back to call_used
registers.  Also, -fcall-used will need to modify this, so it
can't be static.

Symbolic registers have nothing to do with this.  LC and EC
are real hard registers and we're not treating them live 
across calls.
