I think we mainly need these operands to make some situations explicit to the machine verifier and late liveness computation. They are necessary to model some subreg liveness effects for the allocator when subregister liveness tracking is not enabled. Right now I wonder I cannot come up with the reason why we still keep them around with physregs after assignment (because when subreg liveness tracking is enabled we cannot even add them)...
