True, that is what the x86 backend does now.

I tested, and neon tests started failing. Not entirely sure why.

So, attached is a first patch that might be useful in itself. What it
does is remove uses of getCalleeSavedRegClasses from outside the
backends and removes the virtual declaration. With that out of the way
I should be able to cleanup one backend at a time.
