Hi! Regardless of the outcome of the REG_UNUSED discussions, I think it is a good idea to move the vzeroupper pass one pass later. As can be seen in the multiple PRs and as postreload.cc documents, reload/LRA is known to create dead statements quite often, which is the reason why we have postreload_cse pass at all. Doing vzeroupper pass before such cleanup means the pass including df_analyze for it needs to process more instructions than needed and because mode switching adds note problem, also higher chance of having stale REG_UNUSED notes. And, I really don't see why vzeroupper can't wait until those cleanups are done.
