that it is cheap and efficient to get.

Move a variety of predicates from TargetInstrInfo into 
TargetInstrDescriptor, which makes it much easier to query a predicate
when you don't have TII around.  Now you can use MI->getDesc()->isBranch()
instead of going through TII, and this is much more efficient anyway. Not
all of the predicates have been moved over yet.

Update old code that used MI->getInstrDescriptor()->Flags to use the
new predicates in many places.

that "machine" classes are used to represent the current state of
the code being compiled.  Given this expanded name, we can start 
moving other stuff into it.  For now, move the UsedPhysRegs and
LiveIn/LoveOuts vectors from MachineFunction into it.

Update all the clients to match.

This also reduces some needless #includes, such as MachineModuleInfo
from MachineFunction.

per-function collector model. Collector is now the factory for
CollectorMetadata, so the latter may be subclassed.

This version enhances the previous patch to add root initialization
as discussed here:

http://lists.cs.uiuc.edu/pipermail/llvm-commits/Week-of-Mon-20070910/053455.html

Collector gives its subclasses control over generic algorithms:

  unsigned NeededSafePoints; //< Bitmask of required safe points.
  bool CustomReadBarriers;   //< Default is to insert loads.
  bool CustomWriteBarriers;  //< Default is to insert stores.
  bool CustomRoots;          //< Default is to pass through to backend.
  bool InitRoots;            //< If set, roots are nulled during lowering.

It also has callbacks which collectors can hook:

  /// If any of the actions are set to Custom, this is expected to
  /// be overriden to create a transform to lower those actions to
  /// LLVM IR.
  virtual Pass *createCustomLoweringPass() const;

  /// beginAssembly/finishAssembly - Emit module metadata as
  /// assembly code.
  virtual void beginAssembly(Module &M, std::ostream &OS,
                             AsmPrinter &AP,
                             const TargetAsmInfo &TAI) const;
  virtual void finishAssembly(Module &M,
                              CollectorModuleMetadata &CMM,
                              std::ostream &OS, AsmPrinter &AP,
                              const TargetAsmInfo &TAI) const;  

Various other independent algorithms could be implemented, but were
not necessary for the initial two collectors. Some examples are
listed here:
