Hi,
This patch improves register pressure directed hoist by accurately
monitoring the change of register pressure during code hoisting and use this
information to feedback further code hoisting. To know how register pressure
is affected when hoisting an expression(x+y) through a basic block, the
patch checks:
1.  whether x/y is live at the end of the basic block, the live range can't
be shrunk if yes. The live information at the IN/OUT of basic blocks have to
be updated manually by the patch, since these information won't be updated
until next call to function df_analyze.
2.  whether x/y is referred by any other instructions in the basic block,
the live range can't be shrunk if yes. This is done by iterating all
references of x/y by using DF cached information and checking whether any
reference is made in this basic block.

Since GCC calls should_hoist_expr_to_dom to determine whether an expression
should be hoisted, this patch saves/restores/updates LIVE and register
pressure information before/after the call by introducing back-trace
utility.

Though additional computation is introduced by this patch, I bootstrapped
x86 with patch enabled and see no obvious slow down in compilation time.

With this patch, the effect on CSiBE of option "-fira-hoist-pressure" is
improved as below:
		improvement
Thumb1		0.22%(0.13% before this patch)
ARM		0.16%(0.12% before)
MIPS		0.25%(0.24% before)
PowerPC	0.62%
Thumb2		X
x86		X
x86_64		X
Note: Though X means no obvious effect on code size, this patch does improve
it a little bit on these targets.

I bootstrapped this patch on x86/x86_64, and tested it on
x86/x86_64/arm-none-eabi. Is it OK?

Thanks.

Sorry I have to withdraw this patch because I made a mistake in
update_bb_reg_pressure function. I also have another patch to improve hoist
pass and will send these two patch for further review.

Thanks.
