In the proposed approach (copying from/to pseudos just before/after the
asm) we can emulate historic behavior by making uninitialized pseudos
take values of the corresponding hardregs. If we decide that doing that
just for must-uninit pseudos is enough, it's a simple extension to the
existing init-regs pass.  Does this sound reasonable?
