Why?
As Richard said before:
"... it changes
the heuristics _without any explanation of why this is necessary_.
IMO, that's unacceptable for our shiny, new (and generally very nice)
register allocator. And I think it's unacceptable even if it happens
to fix a performance regression."
The patch does not seem to have any justification other than it fixes the
symptom.
