Now that the liveness analysis provides more information, rewrite
tcg_reg_alloc_mov(). This changes the behaviour about propagating
constants and memory accesses. We now take the assumption that once
a value is loaded into a register (from memory or from a constant),
it's better to keep it there than to reload it later. This assumption
is now always almost correct given that we are now sure the
corresponding temp is going to be used later (otherwise it would have
been synchronized and marked as dead already). The assumption is wrong
if one of the op after clobbers some registers including the one
of the holding the temp (this can be avoided by allocating clobbered
registers last, which is what most TCG target do), or in case of lack
of available register.

I don't understand this block.  In particular, the ts->mem_coherent = 1
in the TEMP_VAL_CONST case looks wrong.

Why are you handling NEED_SYNC_ARG before the move, rather than after?

Isn't this store going to happen via temp_dead -> temp_sync -> tcg_reg_sync?

How much of the first block above is redundant with this?
Especially given that I think there's a missing sync.

Indeed the ts->mem_coherent = 1 is wrong in the TEMP_VAL_CONST.

Because the move is likely to be eliminated by the code below,
especially if the temp is dead in addition.

temp_dead only mark the temp as dead, it doesn't save it.

The goal of to first block is to move the value to a register in case a
sync is needed, and the sync is done at this moment. The ots->fixed_reg
can indeed by merged into the first block, but the rest has to stay there.

The sync is done here because it has not been done in the first block.
It's different than in the ts->val_type == TEMP_VAL_CONST

Ok, I believe I understand what's going on now.  Nothing like trying to
rewrite the function yourself to figure out why you've done things this way.

The only thing I'd change for clarity is that first condition:

    /* If the source value is not in a register, and we're going to be
       forced to have it in a register in order to perform the copy,
       then copy the SOURCE value into its own register first.  That way
       we don't have to reload SOURCE the next time it is used.

       Note that in the CONST + SYNC case, we must for the moment have
       the value in a register because we have no direct access to a
       store constant primitive.  */

    if ((ts->val_type == TEMP_VAL_CONST && NEED_SYNC_ARG(0))
        || ts->val_type == TEMP_VAL_MEM) {
