Hi,

These patchs try to support subreg coalesce feature in
register allocation passes (ira and lra).

Let's consider a RISC-V program (https://godbolt.org/z/ec51d91aT):

```
#include <riscv_vector.h>

void
foo (int32_t *in, int32_t *out, size_t m)
{
  vint32m2_t result = __riscv_vle32_v_i32m2 (in, 32);
  vint32m1_t v0 = __riscv_vget_v_i32m2_i32m1 (result, 0);
  vint32m1_t v1 = __riscv_vget_v_i32m2_i32m1 (result, 1);
  for (size_t i = 0; i < m; i++)
    {
      v0 = __riscv_vadd_vv_i32m1(v0, v0, 4);
      v1 = __riscv_vmul_vv_i32m1(v1, v1, 4);
    }
  *(vint32m1_t*)(out+4*0) = v0;
  *(vint32m1_t*)(out+4*1) = v1;
}
```

Before these patchs:

```
foo:
	li	a5,32
	vsetvli	zero,a5,e32,m2,ta,ma
	vle32.v	v4,0(a0)
	vmv1r.v	v2,v4
	vmv1r.v	v1,v5
	beq	a2,zero,.L2
	li	a5,0
	vsetivli	zero,4,e32,m1,ta,ma
.L3:
	addi	a5,a5,1
	vadd.vv	v2,v2,v2
	vmul.vv	v1,v1,v1
	bne	a2,a5,.L3
.L2:
	vs1r.v	v2,0(a1)
	addi	a1,a1,16
	vs1r.v	v1,0(a1)
	ret
```

After these patchs:

```
foo:
	li	a5,32
	vsetvli	zero,a5,e32,m2,ta,ma
	vle32.v	v2,0(a0)
	beq	a2,zero,.L2
	li	a5,0
	vsetivli	zero,4,e32,m1,ta,ma
.L3:
	addi	a5,a5,1
	vadd.vv	v2,v2,v2
	vmul.vv	v3,v3,v3
	bne	a2,a5,.L3
.L2:
	vs1r.v	v2,0(a1)
	addi	a1,a1,16
	vs1r.v	v3,0(a1)
	ret
```

As you can see, the two redundant vmv1r.v instructions were removed.
The reason for the two redundant vmv1r.v instructions is because
the current ira pass is being conservative in calculating the live
range of pseduo registers that occupy multil hardregs. As in the
following two RTL instructions. Where r134 occupies two physical
registers and r135 and r136 occupy one physical register.
At insn 12 point, ira considers the entire r134 pseudo register
to be live, so r135 is in conflict with r134, as shown in the ira
dump info. Then when the physical registers are allocated, r135 and
r134 are allocated first because they are inside the loop body and
have higher priority. This makes it difficult to assign r136 to
overlap with r134, i.e., to assign r136 to hr100, thus eliminating
the need for the vmv1r.v instruction. Thus two vmv1r.v instructions
appear.

If we refine the live information of r134 to the case of each subreg,
we can remove this conflict. We can then create copies of the set
with subreg reference, thus increasing the priority of the r134 allocation,
which allow registers with bigger alignment requirements to prioritize
the allocation of physical registers. In RVV, pseudo registers occupying
two physical registers need to be time-2 aligned.

```
(insn 11 10 12 2 (set (reg/v:RVVM1SI 135 [ v0 ])
        (subreg:RVVM1SI (reg/v:RVVM2SI 134 [ result ]) 0)) "/app/example.c":7:19 998 {*movrvvm1si_whole}
     (nil))
(insn 12 11 13 2 (set (reg/v:RVVM1SI 136 [ v1 ])
        (subreg:RVVM1SI (reg/v:RVVM2SI 134 [ result ]) [16, 16])) "/app/example.c":8:19 998 {*movrvvm1si_whole}
     (expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/v:RVVM2SI 134 [ result ])
        (nil)))
```

ira dump:

;; a1(r136,l0) conflicts: a3(r135,l0)
;;     total conflict hard regs:
;;     conflict hard regs:
;; a3(r135,l0) conflicts: a1(r136,l0) a6(r134,l0)
;;     total conflict hard regs:
;;     conflict hard regs:
;; a6(r134,l0) conflicts: a3(r135,l0)
;;     total conflict hard regs:
;;     conflict hard regs:
;;
;; ...
      Popping a1(r135,l0)  --         assign reg 97
      Popping a3(r136,l0)  --         assign reg 98
      Popping a4(r137,l0)  --         assign reg 15
      Popping a5(r140,l0)  --         assign reg 12
      Popping a10(r145,l0)  --         assign reg 12
      Popping a2(r139,l0)  --         assign reg 11
      Popping a9(r144,l0)  --         assign reg 11
      Popping a0(r142,l0)  --         assign reg 11
      Popping a6(r134,l0)  --         assign reg 100
      Popping a7(r143,l0)  --         assign reg 10
      Popping a8(r141,l0)  --         assign reg 15

The AArch64 SVE has the same problem. Consider the following
code (https://godbolt.org/z/MYrK7Ghaj):

```
#include <arm_sve.h>

int bar (svbool_t pg, int64_t* base, int n, int64_t *in1, int64_t *in2, int64_t*out)
{
  svint64x4_t result = svld4_s64 (pg, base);
  svint64_t v0 = svget4_s64(result, 0);
  svint64_t v1 = svget4_s64(result, 1);
  svint64_t v2 = svget4_s64(result, 2);
  svint64_t v3 = svget4_s64(result, 3);

  for (int i = 0; i < n; i += 1)
    {
        svint64_t v18 = svld1_s64(pg, in1);
        svint64_t v19 = svld1_s64(pg, in2);
        v0 = svmad_s64_z(pg, v0, v18, v19);
        v1 = svmad_s64_z(pg, v1, v18, v19);
        v2 = svmad_s64_z(pg, v2, v18, v19);
        v3 = svmad_s64_z(pg, v3, v18, v19);
    }
  svst1_s64(pg, out+0,v0);
  svst1_s64(pg, out+1,v1);
  svst1_s64(pg, out+2,v2);
  svst1_s64(pg, out+3,v3);
}
```

Before these patchs:

```
bar:
	ld4d	{z4.d - z7.d}, p0/z, [x0]
	mov	z26.d, z4.d
	mov	z27.d, z5.d
	mov	z28.d, z6.d
	mov	z29.d, z7.d
	cmp	w1, 0
	...
```

After these patchs:

```
bar:
	ld4d	{z28.d - z31.d}, p0/z, [x0]
	cmp	w1, 0
	...
```
