VirtRegMap: Replace some identity copies with KILL instructions.
An identity COPY like this: %AL = COPY %AL, %EAX<imp-def> has no semantic effect, but encodes liveness information: Further users of %EAX only depend on this instruction even though it does not define the full register. Replace the COPY with a KILL instruction in those cases to maintain this liveness information. (This reverts a small part of r238588 but this time adds a comment explaining why a KILL instruction is useful). llvm-svn: 274952
