ACC registers are a combination of four consecutive vector registers.
If the vector registers are assigned first this often forces a number
of copies to appear just before the ACC register is created. If the ACC
register is assigned first then fewer copies are generated when the vector
registers are assigned.
This patch tries to force the register allocator to assign the ACC registers first
and then the UACC registers and then the vector pair registers. It does this
by changing the priority of the register classes.
This patch also adds hints to help the register allocator assign UACC registers from
known ACC registers and vector pair registers from known UACC registers.
Why is this a target option? Why not just always apply the target defined priority? It seems like a bug to me that this wasn't added before
