    There are times when the coalescer would not coalesce away a copy but the copy · 66298e22

    can be eliminated by the allocator is the destination and source targets the
    same register. The most common case is when the source and destination registers
    are in different class. For example, on x86 mov32to32_ targets GR32_ which
    contains a subset of the registers in GR32.
    
    The allocator can do 2 things:
    1. Set the preferred allocation for the destination of a copy to that of its source.
    2. After allocation is done, change the allocation of a copy destination (if
       legal) so the copy can be eliminated.
    
    This eliminates 443 extra moves from 403.gcc.
