Summary

This patch fixes a very subtle bug in regmask calculation. Thanks to zan jyu Wong <zyfwong@gmail.com> for bringing this to notice.
For example if CL is only clobbered than CH should not be marked clobbered but CX, RCX and ECX should be mark clobbered. Previously for each modified register all of its aliases are marked clobbered by markRegClobbred() in RegUsageInfoCollector.cpp but that is wrong because when CL is clobbered then MRI::isPhysRegModified() will return true for CL, CX, ECX, RCX which is correct behavior but then for CX, EXC, RCX we mark CH also clobbered as CH is aliased to CX,ECX,RCX so markRegClobbred() is not required because isPhysRegModified already take cares of proper aliasing register. A very simple test case has been added to verify this change.

Should I commit this for you Vivek?

Sorry @MatzeB I don't have commit access. Usually @mehdi_amini commits for me. If you are not able to find time I guess @mehdi_amini will do before this week ends.

no problem, I'll commit it.
