// FIXME: Load constants into registers (e.g. with fld1) to not break
// instructions like x87.

// Ideally we would like the only limitation on executing uops to be the issue
// ports. Maximizing port pressure increases the likelihood that the load is
// distributed evenly across possible ports.

// To achieve that, one approach is to generate instructions that do not have
// data dependencies between them.
//
// For some instructions, this is trivial:
//    mov rax, qword ptr [rsi]
//    mov rax, qword ptr [rsi]
//    mov rax, qword ptr [rsi]
//    mov rax, qword ptr [rsi]
// For the above snippet, haswell just renames rax four times and executes the
// four instructions two at a time on P23 and P0126.
//
// For some instructions, we just need to make sure that the source is
// different from the destination. For example, IDIV8r reads from GPR and
// writes to AX. We just need to ensure that the Var is assigned a
// register which is different from AX:
//    idiv bx
//    idiv bx
//    idiv bx
//    idiv bx
// The above snippet will be able to fully saturate the ports, while the same
// with ax would issue one uop every `latency(IDIV8r)` cycles.
//
// Some instructions make this harder because they both read and write from
// the same register:
//    inc rax
//    inc rax
//    inc rax
//    inc rax
// This has a data dependency from each instruction to the next, limit the
// number of instructions that can be issued in parallel.
// It turns out that this is not a big issue on recent Intel CPUs because they
// have heuristics to balance port pressure. In the snippet above, subsequent
// instructions will end up evenly distributed on {P0,P1,P5,P6}, but some CPUs
// might end up executing them all on P0 (just because they can), or try
// avoiding P5 because it's usually under high pressure from vector
// instructions.
// This issue is even more important for high-latency instructions because
// they increase the idle time of the CPU, e.g. :
//    imul rax, rbx
//    imul rax, rbx
//    imul rax, rbx
//    imul rax, rbx
//
// To avoid that, we do the renaming statically by generating as many
// independent exclusive assignments as possible (until all possible registers
// are exhausted) e.g.:
//    imul rax, rbx
//    imul rcx, rbx
//    imul rdx, rbx
//    imul r8,  rbx
//
// Some instruction even make the above static renaming impossible because
// they implicitly read and write from the same operand, e.g. ADC16rr reads
// and writes from EFLAGS.
// In that case we just use a greedy register assignment and hope for the
// best.
