Whether by accident or intention you picked a lot of stuff having to
do with register classes, and I'm going to turn around and say that
this is a place ripe for redesign.  Wasn't Michael Matz just saying
that regclass.c needed a major rework anyway, or the new register
allocator would never be able to replace the old?  I don't know what
his design looks like, or even if he has one yet, but surely there is
a simpler way to structure this, that doesn't involve lots of little
tiny macros.
