        stale REG_UNUSED note

loop-iv does need notes, albeit indirectly through the single_set
function.  single_set looks at the REG_UNUSED note, and if all but one
set have that note on it, then it asserts that a parallel set is a
single set.  I do agree that this problem is pervasive through gcc.
Any pass that uses single_set is implicitly a user of reg ntoes.
