Better handling of dead super registers in LiveVariables. We used to do this:

   CALL ... %RAX<imp-def>
   ... [not using %RAX]
   %EAX = ..., %RAX<imp-use, kill>
   RET %EAX<imp-use,kill>

Now we do this:

   CALL ... %RAX<imp-def, dead>
   ... [not using %RAX]
   %EAX = ...
   RET %EAX<imp-use,kill>

By not artificially keeping %RAX alive, we lower register pressure a bit.

The correct number of instructions for 2008-08-05-SpillerBug.ll is obviously
55, anybody can see that. Sheesh.
