To split live-range of register, split_live_ranges_for_shrink_wrap will
introduce additional register copies. If such copies can not be optimized by
later optimizations, it will lead to code size and performance regression.
My tests on ARM THUMB1 code size show lots of regressions due to additional
register copies. Shrink-wrap is not enabled for ARM THUMB1, so I think
split_live_ranges_for_shrink_wrap should not be called.

Thanks. Patch is updated according to your comments.

So has anyone looked at why IRA ends up selecting different registers 
for the source/dest of these copies?   Odds are it's just an artifact of 
the heuristics in use, but I'd like to make sure there isn't something 
inherently wrong happening in IRA that's causing it to not tie the 
source/dest of those copies.

Thanks.  OK for the trunk.

As noted above, it'd may be worth spending a little time looking at the 
regressions without this patch installed to see why IRA isn't doing a 
good job of tying the source/dest of these copies together -- perhaps 
there's something that's been overlooked and fixing it may be beneficial.

Thanks. The patch is installed @r215041.

I had investigated it. Compared with 4.8, the allocation order and conflict
cost might be the root cause. A bug is submitted: PR63210.

Thanks!
