// === RegisterBank ===
//
// This class is used to implement the GPR and FPR register banks.
// All registers have two pieces of state associated with them:
// a lock count (used to indicate this register is already in use
// in code generation of the current node, and cannot be spilled or
// allocated as a temporary), and VirtualRegister 'name', recording
// which value (if any) a machine register currently holds.
// Either or both of these pieces of information may be valid for a
// given register. A register may be:
//
//  - unlocked, and unnamed: Available for allocation.
//  - locked, but unnamed:   Already allocated as a temporary or
//                           result for the current node.
//  - unlocked, but named:   Contains the result of a prior operation,
//                           not yet in use for this node,
//  - locked, but named:     Contains the result of a prior operation,
//                           already allocated as a operand to the
//                           current operation.
//
// For every named register we also record a hint value indicating
// the order in which registers should be selected to be spilled;
// registers that can be more cheaply spilled and/or filled should
// be selected first.
//
// Locking register is a strong retention mechanism; a locked register
// will never be reallocated (this is used to ensure the operands to
// the current node are in registers). Naming, conversely, in a weak
// retention mechanism - allocating a register may force a named value
// to be spilled.
//
// All named values must be given a hint that is greater than Min and
// less than Max.
