Hi,

When running tests on a slightly-revised version of the
worker-partitioning patch series previously posted starting here:

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2019-11/msg01475.html

I discovered that Kwok's patch to optimise GCN register usage
(r278301) was causing one of the new tests to fail:

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2019-11/msg01210.html

The patch marks the s6/s7 pair as unfixed, but that (as the "queue
pointer") is needed for some kinds of address-space conversion --
which may be synthesized either in normal or kernel entry-point
functions by the worker-partitioning support (gcn_addr_space_convert).
So, it's not safe to leave those registers for general use.

The solution seems to be just to fix the s6/s7 pair. I think I can
self-approve this as a bug fix. Any comments, though? (Andrew, Kwok?)

Tested with offloading to AMD GCN (alongside the worker-partitioning
patches).

Thanks,

Julian
